About Elasticsearch Indices
When using django-elasticsearch-dsl, create the names of your indices combined of:
- project name, e.g. "myproject"
- environment name, e.g. "staging"
- app name (optionally) and model name, e.g. "blog_post"
Just like this:
@registry.register_document
class BlogPostDocument(Document):
class Index:
name = f"myproject_{settings.ENVIRONMENT}_blog_post"
settings = {
"number_of_shards": 1,
"number_of_replicas": 0,
}
# …
This way, you can share the same Elasticsearch server for different projects or project environments.
