Hi all,

Currently we have several applications (dovecot, openXchange, Exim, etc, etc) that push data in one index. We call it now clog-2019.07.23 for example. This index is 3.5TB big and contains 2b documents [(full stats here).](https://gist.github.com/pjanzen/e992e94a42df2a2d6eb4b893f992ed9c)

Currently on our cluster we have some indexing pressure with generates 429 error and I wonder, if I would split-up the indices into application specific indices would that relieve some of the index pressure on the index?
