Adding another index is adding shards.. you're just going about it the wrong way.
The point of shard splitting is that you always have the right number of shards. FULLY re-indexing all your data is silly. You have to re-read ALL of it again, and re-emit it, and re-index it. With shard splitting, if you're at capacity, you just add new hardware, the largest shard splits in half, and then they move to another box. I suspect anyone against this doesn't really have that much data. On Thursday, December 11, 2014 3:46:21 PM UTC-8, Jörg Prante wrote: > > Shard splitting is an anti-pattern if done on server side.
