One alternative approach is described in [this comment](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/increase-data-size-in-rally-existing-tracks/116514/2) using jinja2 loops. One catch is that to do that it uses multiple indices, but in many cases (depending on the size of the corpus) this could be a realistic scenario.
