ElasticsearchjsonBest Practices
- Define explicit field mappings instead of relying on dynamic mapping for known fields
- Set appropriate shard count based on expected data volume (target 10-50GB per shard)
- Configure replica count based on availability requirements (1 replica minimum for production)
- Use Index Lifecycle Management (ILM) policies for automatic index rotation, warm/cold tiering, and deletion
- Configure refresh_interval based on indexing vs search priority (30s for logging, 1s for search)
- Use keyword type for exact-match and aggregation fields, text type for full-text search
- Set date format explicitly for timestamp fields (strict_date_optional_time or epoch_millis)
- Use index aliases for zero-downtime reindexing and routing
- Use composable index templates with component templates for reusable mapping fragments
