Hello,

Until now (v 7.9.1), I use the following ilm policy :

Day 1 = hot  
Day 30 = cold + freeze  
Day 60 = delete

With the recent releases (v 7.14), I noticed the introduction of data tiers, and also a new phase : the "frozen" phase.

First question : does a frozen index on a cold tier can be moved to a frozen phase ? (on a frozen tier)

Second question : does a node can be at the same time cold\_tier and frozen tier ?

Thanks for your help ! 🙂
