index creation limitation

[culiangfanzi]

here is the prolem, when we used ES 2.X, we created indexes too much, about hundreds of indexes per day so the ES stucked when creating indexes (the index creation process was very slow).
Is there any limitation about indexes count ? Is the es service available (can accept queries ) when creating indexes?
thanks a lot for hearing from you ...

@culiangfanzi currently there is no limitation on the number of indices you can create. There are two possibilities we are looking at:

• The max number of shards per node: Hard limit on total number of shards in a cluster #20705
• Limiting index creation rate: Limit index creation rate #20760
