Hi,
Currently we have our data saved in elasticsearch version 5.6.1, by using one index with several types in it, and with parent-child reltaions.
This approach allows us in Kibana to make queries and filters easily in a single dashboard, since all the data is in one index.
This will not be supported in next versions of elastic .
To my understanding from other posts, if we are to re-arrange our data in elastic, in a way that each type is an index - we will lose the ability to keep using the Kibana the way we currently use it (by applying a filter to the parent we change the output of all its children).
One option would be to create an index for each child-type, do not use the parent-child paradigm, and each document would have additional properties that were in the parent before this change, so we could make the same queries.
Is that a good approach when thinking big-data wise?
Thanks,
