Adding indces to alies and routing

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

A month ago I asked a question about sharding and routuing and so on. You
can find it
here. https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/2443 I am
woundering if i create indexes with a single shard, and then add those
indexes to an alies and then i query and insert into the alies, and I use
routing, will my routing get messed up everytime i add a new index to the
route?

Not sure I understand your plan. If all your indices have only one shard,
how are you going to use routing with the aliases?

Good point, I would start with 1 shard per day but as i get more traffic
then 1 shard can handle i will then make another shard. and so on. These
will have routes at some point i could have 20 shards I dont know where it
will go but there will be routing what i am trying to undersand is if I use
alies and route, does it route per index or does it route per alies index?

When you are indexing using an alias, this alias has to resolve into a
single index, so it doesn't matter.

Well when i am adding new values it will be to the index that is correct
but most of my data is read only data, so when i am searching across an
alies with multipal indeecs with different shard counts will my routes
still work?

Yes, it should work. If you index a records with a certain routing value,
you can expect this record to show up in the search results if search is
using the same routing value even if you search against multiple indices.
