* By not encouraging to use index.look_ahead index setting. The default should would well out of the box and changing this setting can cause tsds to not work correctly.
* Not mentioning the index.codec setting. This is a low level setting has no real benefit in case of tsds. And setting it to best compression can hurt performance without any real benefit.
This change adds a `index.look_back_time` index setting that sets the `index.time_series.start_time` setting for the first backing index when a data stream is created.
This allows accepting data that is older for initial indexing without changing the `index.look_ahead_time` setting. This setting also controls the `index.time_series.end_time` setting and would affect rollovers as well.
The default for the `index.look_back_time` is `2h`, which means documents with `@timestamp` up to 2 hours after creation of the data stream are allowed to be indexed. This is the same as is without this change, because `index.look_ahead_time` is used to set `index.time_series.start_time` of the first backing index.
