I have indexes in the format of
indexname-2017.01.01
indexname-2017.01.02
...etc...
these go back several years. when i try to query the system using
index: indexname-*
i end up getting the dreaded 'you're trying to query to many shards error'. if i specify one index indexname-2017.01.01 the query works just fine.
my question is there a way to specify a range of indexes for the query, (ie only look in indexes between these two dates)
