Referring to the [post](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/rollup-rollover-and-destination-index-date-math-patterns/232136) I have some more questions:

Since the issue [#48003](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/48003) is closed is there a plan until when this feature will be available?

I would also like to know if a numeric rollover works for rollup indexes? If yes is there a tutorial for this?

Thanks

From that issue;

But I can't see it in the docs which is odd? hopefully one of the ILM devs will swing by and comment.

Hi @warkolm, thanks for your reply unfortunately I haven't received any comment from an ILM developer yet.

Maybe someone has experience with this topic and can give me a hint?

@talevy Is there any documentation for this completed issue?

My rollup index is growing and growing and I have no idea how to apply an ILM policy to the rollups.

ILM and to some extent time-based indices are as far as I know [not supported for transforms and rollups](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.5/transform-limitations.html#transform-ilm-destination). I suspect you may need to delete data using delete by query.

Is there somewhere the roadmap or a plan until when Rollup V2 (incl. ILM) will be available?

Thanks for the answer. At the moment I still have the problem that I can't get the [rollup job done in an acceptable time](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/rollup-jobs-performance/321019), so I don't have to worry about deleting it yet 🫢
