:Distributed Indexing/CRUD
| Elasticsearch no longer allows indices to be created started with '-' or '+', so | ||
| that the multi-index matching and expansion is not confused. It was previously | ||
| possible (but a really bad idea) to create indices starting with a hyphen or | ||
| plus sign. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Maybe we can add a note stating that previously created indices starting with a hyphen or a + will still operate as normal?

Sure, will add and merge

LGTM, just left one minor comment |
Previously this was possible, which was problematic when issuing a request like `DELETE /-myindex`, which was interpretted as "delete everything except for myindex". Resolves elastic#19800

There is currently a very confusing behavior in Elasticsearch for the following: Given the indices: `[test1, test2, -foo1, -foo2]` ``` DELETE /-foo* ``` Will cause the `test1` and `test2` indices to be deleted, when what is usually intended is to delete the `-foo1` and `-foo2` indices. Previously we added a change in elastic#20033 to disallow creating indices starting with `-` or `+`, which will help with this situation. However, users may have existing indices starting with these characters. This changes the negation to only take effect in a wildcard (`*`) has been seen somewhere in the expression, so in order to delete `-foo1` and `-foo2` the following now works: ``` DELETE /-foo* ``` As well as: ``` DELETE /-foo1,-foo2 ``` so in order to actually delete everything except for the "foo" indices (ie, `test1` and `test2`) a user would now issue: ``` DELETE /*,--foo* ``` Relates to elastic#19800
