i use es store different region data,such beijing,shanghai,chongqing and other provinces.  
should i use provionces name as index name ,and unique cluster.name: all\_data  
for example  
cluster all\_data with 9 nodes  
elasticsearch.yml  
cluster.name: all\_data

PUT beijing/\_doc/1  
PUT chongqing/\_doc/1  
PUT heilongjiang/\_doc/1

or use different clusters with each province  
cluster beijing with 3 nodes  
elasticsearch.yml  
cluster.name: beijing  
cluster chongqing with 3 nodes  
cluster.name: chongqing  
cluster heilongjiang with 3 nodes  
cluster.name: heilongjiang

PUT /beijing:data/\_doc/1  
PUT /chongqing:data/\_doc/1  
PUT /heilongjiang:data/\_doc/1

i think the first way is more easy,but cannot Fine-grained add more nodes to special provionces,but the second is more complex,more clusters.  
which way should i go?any other suggestions?
