Elasticsearch - Index Management

Given this ILM policy snippet:

{"phases": {"hot": {"actions": {"rollover": {"max_size": "10gb"}}}, "delete": {"min_age": "90d", "actions": {"delete": {}}}}}

What happens to an index after it reaches 10GB?

AIt archives data to external storage

BIt rolls over to a new index and continues indexing

CIt stops accepting new data but stays

DIt is immediately deleted

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze rollover action in hot phase
The policy rolls over the index when it reaches 10GB.
Step 2: Understand delete phase timing
Deletion happens only after 90 days, so not immediate.
Final Answer:
It rolls over to a new index and continues indexing -> Option B
Quick Check:
Rollover at 10GB, delete after 90d = D [OK]

Quick Trick: Rollover triggers at size, delete waits min_age [OK]
