Hi All,
I am exploring elastic search to create one index per user instead of one 
big index for all the users. Each index would be about 6G.
I am wondering if anyone has tried it and how would it scale?

I couldn't find that elastic search has limit on maximum number of indices. 
Is it safe/recommended to have say 20K indices for 20K users? Would it 
architecture scale well? 

Also, if start with say a 5 nodes cluster now, and add more nodes as I need 
them, does ES redistributes its shards every time I add new nodes? How 
newly added nodes are utilized in a cluster?
