The above index information into the @kimchy@ index, with two types, @info@ and @tweet@. Each user will get his own special index.
Complete control on the index level is allowed. As an example, in the above case, we would want to change from the default 5 shards with 1 backup per index, to only 1 shard with 1 backup per index (== per twitter user). Here is how this can be done (the configuration can be in yaml as well):

Lets face it, things will fail....
ElasticSearch is a highly available and distributed search engine. Each index is broken down into shards, and each shard can have one or more backups. By default, an index is created with 5 shards and 1 backup per shard (5/1). There are many topologies that can be used, including 1/10 (improve search performance), or 20/1 (improve indexing performance, with search executed in a map reduce fashion across shards).

In order to play with Elastic Search distributed nature, simply bring more nodes up and shut down nodes. The system will continue to serve requests (make sure you use the correct http port) with the latest data indexed.

Alternatively, elastic search can be started with the following command line:
@elasticsearch -f -Des.index.gateway.type=fs@.
@elasticsearch -f -Des.gateway.type=fs@.
The above configuration will persist the indices create on ElasticSearch to a file system (path can be configured) in an asynchronous, reliable fashion. Other gateways implementations can be easily implemented and more will be provided out of the box in later versions (did someone say AmazonS3/Hadoop/Cassandra?).
