create indexes with 30 shards one by one,when shards number up to 10000 in elasticsearch cluster,i found creation operation goes very slow.

Create/delete index goes slow when shards number up to 10000

If the index holds 600GB of data, 30 primary shards might be a reasonable starting point as that is 20GB per shard. Will all indices hold the same amount of data? If not, I would recommend setting up smaller indices with fewer primary shards.

What is the use case?
