Hi, Is it possible to use Azure blob storage to store the indexes. Please note i cannot use a mounted drive. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

No and you should not do that if it was possible. It would be dramatically slow. You can use Blob storage for snapshots (backup).
