Data going directly to frozen

[norbertt911]

Hello,

I have a new index - it's a monster - eating up my disk space. Until I move it to the physical server I need to fix it.

Well, I limited maxTotalDataSizeMB, seem working but the cold storage skipped landed in frozen directly, so I cannot search it.

The hot/warm storage is "local" on VM, the cold, frozen, thawed is an S3.

The optimal idea is 7 days in hot/warm (if over maxTotalDataSizeMB then faster) then go cold for 90 days (no size limit) then thawed for 1 year (no size limit).

here is my current setting

I assume this is the issue coldPath.maxDataSizeMB = 0 why skip cold, but not sure.

I appreciated if somebody could fix my settings.
