How many old indices I should have for ElasticSearch?
I am using ElasticSearch with mainly default configuration and noticed recently that my old indices are eating too much space. I believe they are being created automatically because of default configuration since I have not done any such configuration. Please help me with:
- how many old indices I should generally keep?
- does my today's search use index created yesterday?
- can i live with just one index copy and reuse the same every time?
- what purpose old indices serve?
Since ES is running on a Production server, I simply cannot delete old indices hence need expert advice. Thanks.

It's up to you to decide number of indices. I suggest you should go through the document first. It should answer all your questions in great details :) Retire your data
