Hi,  
I have a daily index being written by opentracing that has the following attributes reported by xpack:

size: 63GB (primaries)  
docs: 1 billion  
indexing rate: 1500 msg/sec approx

However, for an index with over 1 billion docs at 15:00 GMT the indexing rate would need to be around 19k msg/sec. Can someone help me understand what I'm seeing here?

Regards,  
David

p.s. Elasticsearch/X-Pack version is 5.6.3
