Setting index.uuid on ES 5

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

I was wondering if there's any reason/objections to not allowing the index.uuid to be set when creating an index?

I understand that this would mean that the user would need to to guarantee index uuid uniqueness across clusters, but for some this wouldn't be a problem. We currently need this for a use case which involves encrypting per-index, so full disk encryption will not work (I do have a workaround, but supplying the index.uuid would be preferable).

Thanks,

Brent
