Description
We should recommend to not change the ILM policy of the `traces-apm.sampled*` data stream as its indices should always be in the `hot` tier as much as possible.
This is a crucial "workspace" index for Tail Based Sampling and it has to be fast.
Ideally, we should avoid users making changes to the ILM policy of this specific data stream.
Still, as this index follows the Index Template structure similar to the one of `traces-apm*` there are several component templates in common. E.g. if someone edits `traces@custom`, the changes will be applied to all data streams `traces-*`, including the sampled one.
We could provide an hint of **not** touching the ILM policy of the sampled data stream in https://www.elastic.co/docs/solutions/observability/apm/index-lifecycle-management
