Description
Currently, we check for validity of index names. However, Elasticsearch seems to have made some changes. So, please update that logic as follows.
Index names must meet the following criteria:
Lowercase only
Cannot include \, /, *, ?, ", <, >, |, ` ` (space character), ,, #
Indices prior to 7.0 could contain a colon (:), but that’s been deprecated and won’t be supported in 7.0+
Cannot start with -, _, +
Cannot be . or ..
Cannot be longer than 255 bytes (note it is bytes, so multi-byte characters will count towards the 255 limit faster)
Names starting with . are deprecated, except for hidden indices and internal indices managed by plugins
