Description

Last year, we had each data file in its own type in one index. So the the helper esType was introduced to API method elasticSearchWarehouse to limit the search to a specific type.
Alas, we found out that, when managing indices, e.g. changed import data, deleting types is not easily possible in Elasticsearch. So this year, we are going to store each data file in its own index (and always in type default). Hence it would be nicer for the user to be able to specify esIndex in the simple query.

For security reasons, the index provided by the user should be matched against the indices in the property es.warehouse.index to prevent searches in 'private' indices.

Research direction

Start at the elasticSearchWarehouse API method and inspect how the esType parameter and es.warehouse.index property are currently used. Add support for an esIndex query value while restricting it to configured warehouse indices; done means permitted indices can be searched and private indices cannot be selected.
