Hi, We are planning to implement elasticsearch along with logstash. However the kind of requirement we have, we want that each customer has his own login and should be able to view only his data. Also for administration purpose would like to have user's role based access control. Can anyone let me know if this is possible? OR if there is any other way to do it.

Hi, Elasticsearch supports having several indices stored into the same cluster. These indices can even have different number of shards/replicas. However, having large numbers of indices can trigger issues as well, I recommend that you watch [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/videos/big-data-search-and-analytics/) to see the different strategies that can be used to solve your problem (your specific use-case is described starting at 13:30 but you should still watch the beginning which explains the issue of having too many shards or indices). Regarding access control, Elasticsearch doesn't support it so this must be handled by an additional layer on top of Elasticsearch.
