Hi ,

i am currently having index names like abc\_2014, abc\_2015, abc\_2016.. etc. (index names are dynamically created at the logstash level)

is there a way i can apply custom routing on index names, so that if i have to search aginst the index, abc\_2016, instead of searching all the shrads, it is going to search one shrad only? i am trying to use this feature to improve my search performance.

Please suggest.

thanks  
Subbu
