i configured the cluster to claim 5g for the data dir

```auto
    volumeClaimTemplates:
    - metadata:
        name: elasticsearch-data
      spec:
        accessModes:
        - ReadWriteOnce
        resources:
          requests:
            storage: 5Gi

```

I like to configure the cluster to roll data for example after it Reaches 4g  
or another method that elastic search is using, the main point is that i don't want it to throw  
"out of space" error when data is Reaches to 5g  
Thanks

Roll it where?  
Have you looked at [ILM](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/index-lifecycle-management-api.html)?
