Abstract
A distributed search framework with virtual indexing is disclosed. According to some embodiments, a virtual index that includes a first physical index is created, where the first physical index includes a first number of shards. A request to index a document is received. In response to the request, whether the first physical index has reached a capacity threshold is determined. In response to determining that the first physical index has reached the capacity threshold, a second physical index is automatically created and added to the virtual index, where the second physical index includes a second number of shards. The document is added into the second physical index.
