Currently elastic search allows you to specify custom shards for its regular indices , but when those indices are rolled up there is no way to specify shard and replica setting for the rollup index. Elasticsearch by default assigns shards :5 replica:1 And there is no way to change this after creation of index or while specifying rollup job Neither there is a way to manually create a rollup index without using rollup job Is there any plan to introduce such capabilities in future ? ---

If you have an index template, that will be applied automatically. ---
