editWith all of these actions, we can support complex management strategies for our indices. This policy will define an index that will start in the hot phase, rolling over every 50 GB or 7 days. After 30 days it enters the warm phase and increases the replicas to 2, force merges and shrinks. After 60 days it enters the cold phase and allocates to "cold" nodes, and after 90 days the index is deleted.
