You can also use "implicit" (sometimes called "manual") routing. This
allows you to create shards on the fly so one pattern is to create,
say, a shard per day. Say you have 30 day retention requirements: You
can create a new shard every day and delete any shards 31 or more days
old.
There are pros
One of our collections is time-series data, processing hundreds of queries per
second. But apart from having a time field, set it indexed and docValues
enabled, i wouldn't know about any specific recommendations.
