With that said, there are some very annoying things. Previously if you modified the access policy of the ES cluster, it would completely rebuild the entire cluster (create all new nodes and copy all data), which can take many hours.

From what I can tell, it still does. I can’t comment on the length of time though. I did it before I had many documents and it was a very small Dev instance.

I think in March[1] they announced this improvement.
