Hi, I have two groups of indices. What I want to do is perform search sometimes on one group of indices, and sometimes search on joint groups of indices. How can I do it? Should I create different nodes or shards to enable it? I noticed that if I put all indices of two groups together in one cluster, it behaves unstably, which seems it relates to some limitation of disk usage. Any idea is appreciated.! ---

It's pretty simple - [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/2.x/multi-index-multi-type.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/2.x/multi-index-multi-type.html) ---
