Hi, Hope I can get an rough idea on how (or if it is even possible) to implement ES for a system, which will host tenants in a PaaS environment. Each tenant will have its own database, but share the same core software including elasticsearch. So what would be the suggested solution, to store the search data in elasticseach, but keep it separated for each tenant? Is it possible? scamo -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

As far as I understand your concern, Index in Elasticsearch are designed to cover that need. Think index as "database" and type as "table". On the same cluster, you can have many indexes and each index will contain its own types. Is it what you are after?
