Rollover or not

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi,

My question is whether using Rollover API is useful even if we do not use a hot/warm hw setup (all our nodes have the same hardware).

What we want to gain is:

  • to have more equal sized shards without having to manually configure each index.
  • better utilization of resources since we can optimize non writable indices

Are these good enough reasons for moving to rollover? Perhaps there are more?

Any inputs is highly appreciated.

Regards /Johan

That is exactly what rollover API allows you to do. As long as you have time-based data it does not really matter of you use hot-warm architecture or not - you will still benefit.

Thanks @Christian_Dahlqvist!
