Rolling over the index automatically when the conditions wont satisfy. As of now i am explicitly using the conditions whenever i want to insert a document. Is there any way where we can automatically roll over the index. ---

The rollover check is triggered by an API call, so is not automatic. You can use cron to trigger [Curator](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/curator/current/index.html) to manage this for you. In the next minor release, version 6.6, a new feature called [Index Lifecycle Management](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.6/index-lifecycle-management.html) will be launched. This allows you to configure policies in Elasticsearch that handle rollover and ageing of indices automatically. ---

We have a policy of not providing release dates, but it is not too far off as it is the next minor release. ---

I am not sure as I am not a Windows user, but [according to the docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/curator/current/installation.html) it seems you can install using a zip file or MSI installer. ---

That is the hash used to verify the downloaded package and not the zip file. Use the link next to that one. ---
