Hi Elastic Community, I'm running a three node cluster. I've defined the directory for storing indices with _data.path_ in _elasticsearch.yml_. Is it possible to change the storing directory for a specific index? Personally, I don't see the reason for this action. However, my customer is asking if it is possible and I would appreciate your answers! Best regards, Milos Tepavcevic ---

No, that is not possible. You can allocate indices to specific nodes but not paths under a node. ---
