Hey @guilload the index template api is very useful and automatic index creations helps when we want to avoid big indexes by letting the client partition (daily indexes for example) and route queries to the right index.
I have seen that this is only implemented in the code but there no config parameter to enable the auto_create_indexes.
Is it possible to enable this via a config param ?
Is the Index Template API gonna be publicly released and documented ?
Thanks

@guilload FYI the issue I came across is maybe not a documentation one, cause I was able follow this internal doc last time https://github.com/quickwit-oss/quickwit/blob/main/docs/internals/template-index.md
But the problem is at the ingestion step I got the following error:

$ curl -XPOST "http://127.0.0.1:7280/api/v1/stackoverflow-foo/ingest" --data-binary @stackoverflow.posts.transformed-10000.json
{
  "message": "index `stackoverflow-foo` not found"
}

So I thought this was because of the auto_create_indexes is not enabled by default, but I was wrong, we can see it is enabled when the the control plane is started

The only relevant line log I have found is

2025-02-12T15:01:17.054Z ERROR quickwit_ingest::ingest_api_service: failed to find index index_id=stackoverflow-foo 

I do have the template created though:

$ curl -XGET http://127.0.0.1:7280/api/v1/templates | grep -B2 stackoverflow
  {
    "version": "0.8",
    "template_id": "stackoverflow",
    "index_id_patterns": [
      "stackoverflow*"
