### Description
Mongo has namespacing via different databases on the same db se… rver
RabbitMQ has namespacing via different exhanges
etc etc
but with ES, there is no automatic namespacing feature, instead ChatCPT suggests
> Yes, you can namespace Elasticsearch for different environments using a few different strategies:
>
> 1. **Index Naming Conventions**: Use distinct index names for each environment. For instance, prefix your index names with the environment like `dev-`, `staging-`, `prod-`.
>
> 2. **Separate Clusters**: Deploy separate Elasticsearch clusters for each environment. This is a more robust approach, ensuring complete isolation between environments.
>
> 3. **Index Aliases**: Use index aliases to abstract the actual index names. This way, you can have the same alias pointing to different indexes in different environments.
>
> 4. **Document-Level Routing**: If you need to use the same index, consider using custom routing to separate documents from different environments, though this is less common and can complicate maintenance and scaling.
>
> 5. **Access Control**: Implement access control to limit access to data based on the environment, using features like X-Pack security in Elasticsearch.

> Each of these methods has its pros and cons, and the choice depends on factors like the scale of your operations, the level of isolation needed, and resource availability.
I am looking for a way to shard/namespace an ES instance
Mongo has namespacing via different databases on the same db server
RabbitMQ has namespacing via different exhanges
How can I automatically namespace indices with Elastic without manually namespacing keys with prod-x and stage-x etc

Can you provide some context of what you mean with this?
Elasticsearch is a different tool, it does not have the concept of namespace, it has indexes, so it is not clear what you want to achieve.
