Sharding, a database architecture pattern, involves partitioning a database into smaller, faster, more manageable parts called shards. Each shard is a distinct database, and collectively, these shards make up the entire database. What Is Sharding?

To make data count and to ensure cloud computing is unabated, companies and organizations must have highly available databases. A basic high availability database system provides failover (preferably automatic) from a primary database node to redundant nodes within a cluster. HA is sometimes confused with “fault tolerance.”

As a distributed database, your data is partitioned into “shards” which are then allocated to one or more servers. Because of this sharding, a read or write request to an Elasticsearch cluster requires coordinating between multiple nodes as there is no “global view” of your data on a single server.
