The rollover action implicitly rolls over a data stream or alias if one or more shards contain 200,000,000 or more documents. Typically, a shard will reach 50GB before it reaches 200M documents, however, this isn’t the case for space efficient data sets. This built-in limit exists to avoid Search performance loss if a shard contains more than 200M documents.

The rollover feature is an important part of how [index lifecycle](../index-lifecycle-management/index-lifecycle.md) ({{ilm-init}}) and [data stream lifecycles](../data-stream.md) ({{dlm-init}}) work to keep your indices fast and manageable. By switching the write target of an index, the rollover action provides the following benefits:

Rollover can be triggered via the [API](https://www.elastic.co/docs/api/doc/elasticsearch/operation/operation-indices-rollover), {{ilm-init}}, or {{dlm-init}}.
