when I create a space it has no index in it.  
that means I have to create a index for each space which is same name as default index name.  
can I use different name? there is no option at this time

for example  
Indice - metricbeat-2019, metricbeat-2018

I can create index metricbeat-\* or metricbeat-2019  
and when I go to space I can do same but nothing different.

I want to create a index like {username}\_metricbeat-2019 is it possible?
