I would love to know why. What is your application?

Here is my project requirement Continuously my application receives data (TB), I have to index every file, and from the GUI I should display the data (matching data) After 90 days I will delete the 1st day data, and store 91 data in it, for this I am using 11 machines, 1 is master 10 are slaves, so that, I can store first 10 days data in one shard, 10-20 days of data in another shard and so on, when user asks to display data between the dates, I can fire the query on specific shard using routing. Indexing, and searching is easy with this approach, but I am unable to route first 10 days of data in to one shard. And also I need faster queries, because in 90 days data may be extended to 300-400 TB So I want to divide the data based on Date, so when a query is fired I ac search in 30 TB. Looking for your response ---
