Maximum limit for indexes

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi Jim

Could you elaborate a bit on the overhead of indices? A single
index-per-object is gives us a perfect setup for our dataflow, but how
far can this scale reasonably? Though we're starting out at ~20,000
indices, I'd like to be able to plan for 1 million if possible.

If this isn't too far fetched, which is the more important scaling
factor, node size or node count?

That is indeed far fetched :slight_smile: Unless you plan on having hundreds of
thousands of servers...

However, filtered aliases might be what you are after.

I suggest taking a look at Shay's presentation at berlin buzzwords this
year:
