Thanks Clint. As always, answers tend to create more questions !
I have finally got a use-case for per-user indexing. I was wondering
what peoples' opinions are on the best way to check and then create an
index and type mapping on-the-fly.Don't forget that each shard is a Lucene instance, so if you have a
million users, you will need a LOT of boxes and memory to cope with
that.
Hmm... so are per user indexes not a good idea? We *are *expecting lots of
users. Will ES definitely keep an instance running for each index even if
that index has not been written to or read from for a while?
