Hi,
For some indices I also don't care about versions of documents. We optimize those indices every day by issuing the optimize call: Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic
About the removal of irrelevant documents you can use the "delete by query" API. See here: Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic
Cheers, Jasper

Subject: is it possible to disable versioning?
in my use case, i don't really care about the versions of a document.
i only care about the latest version. so i was wondering if its a
good idea to disable it so that i save on space overhead of multiple
versions? if so, how do i go about it?
also, is there an api to purge all documents older than a certain
timestamp? i saw that with each document, you can associate a ttl
but i don't want to pre-commit myself to it at the time of document
indexing. instead, i want to be able to do it in an adhoc manner.
thanks
