Organize categorized data, how many indices, how many types?

Hi Tom,

If you go to http://www.elasticsearch.org/ and type in "parent" in the
search field at the top, that may be what you are looking for.
Oh, you can also
try: http://search-lucene.com/?q=parent&fc_project=ElasticSearch&fc_type=web+site

Hi,

a total beginner question:
i have documents which data differ just in some fields according to a
category the docs are assigned to.
now i am thinking of creating types for each category which holds then of
course mostly redundant but also category-related different data.

depending on 2 other criteria i would need to spread this bunch of types
over almost 10 indices.
i would only search docs against one index and and my intended
"category-type".

is this the right approach if possible to say anything about this in
general?
would it be better to organize nested data or something?
are there any common limits according number of indices / types?

Thx for help.
Tom
