+Ah, this was running really slow because `MINIO_SECRET_KEY` was not set. Really

+Might have been due to `/` filling up (not `/fast/tmp`)? Had gotten pretty far
+in to processing. Restarted, will keep an eye on it.
+
+To index, run from ES machine, as bnewbold:
+
+ ssh aitio.us.archive.org cat /grande/snapshots/fatcat_scholar_work_fulltext.partial.20200723.json.gz \

+Confirmed that disk was full in that moment; frustrating as had checked in and
+disk usage was low enough before, and data was flowing to /grande (large
+spinning disk). Should be sufficient to move release dump to `/bigger` and
+clear more space on `/fast` to do the full indexing.

+Got to about 2/3 of full release dump. Current rough estimates for total
+processing times:
+
+ enrich 150 million releases: 80hr (3-4 days), 650 GByte on disk (gzip)
+ transform and index 150 million releases: 55hr (2-3 days), 1.5 TByte on disk (?)

+## ES Performance Iteration (2020-07-27)
+
+- schema: switch abstracts from nested to simple array
+- query: include fewer fields: just biblio (with boost; and maybe title) and "everything"
+- query: use date-level granularity for time queries (may already do this?)
+- set replica=0 (for now)
+- set shards=12, to optimize *individual query* performance
+ => if estimating 800 GByte index size, this is 60-70 GByte per shard
+- set `index.codec=best_compression` to leverage CPU vs. disk I/O
+- ensure transform output is sorted by key
+ => <https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/tune-for-disk-usage.html#_put_fields_in_the_same_order_in_documents>
+- ensure number of cores is large
