The document recommends a non-durable location for data
I noticed the documentation recommends a non-durable local resource for the Elasticsearch data path. Although this is acceptable for some deployments it might be worth warning people that the path is not durable and there is a potential for data loss, even with replicas data loss is theoretically possible. ``` # recommended path.data: /mnt/resource/elasticsearch/data ``` Alternatively the user could attach and use data disks which do come with a significant performance tradeoff, but premium storage options with higher IOPS have been announced and are right around the corner. Closes #46.
