Hi,
I need to create custom index templates for my indices. For now I just want to set number of shards. So my question is it OK to define just number of shards for example:
PUT _template/iibraz_qmraz2
{
"index_patterns": ["iibraz_qmraz2-*"],
"settings": {
"number_of_shards": 3
}
}
and let elasticsearch do the dynamic mapping for fields?
Or I can ingest data and let elasticsearch do dynamic mapping and then use:
GET /_template/iibraz_qmraz2
to create index template from result?
I am aware that best practice is to create mappings for all field manually but i don't have knowledge for that right now.
BR,
Mladen
