I have an `elasticsearch.yml` file as follows:

```
# cat elasticsearch.yml
node.name: my-node-name
cluster.name: my_es_cluster
path.data: /storage/elasticsearch
#path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch
network.host: 0.0.0.0

```

My question is whether I can use an **additional** `path.data` setting to send **some** (e.g. based on some pattern match?) indices to be stored there?

You can specify multiple data paths, but you can not control what goes where.
