Changelog of @hackage/katip-elasticsearch 0.2.1.0

0.2.1.0

Drop direct dependency on random, upgrade uuid to >= 1.3.12 for safer id generation. Previously, UUID was using randomIO, which uses the system clock as a seed. So if multiple nodes happened to start at the same time, they would produce conflicting UUID sequences.

Default index sharding policy to daily. Previously it was no sharding. The reasoning here is that no sharding creates very large indices which become very difficult to manage in production. Rotating data out on a time basis is very slow compared to deleting date-based indices.

Upgrade note: if you were using the defaults before and switch to daily, rather than having the index name of my-index, you'll start seeing my-index-2016-3-14. The good news is that whatever you're using to use to search against your logs (such as kibana) will support index patterns, so just use the pattern of my-index* to get everything. Eventually if you have a retention period, you can manually delete the my-index index without disruption.
