If your data uses the <<date_nanos,date nanosecond data type>>, aggregations
are nonetheless on millisecond resolution. This limitation also affects the
aggregations in your {transforms}.

[[transform-data-streams-destination]]
== Data streams as destination indices are not supported
{transforms-cap} update data in the destination index which requires writing
into the destination. <<data-streams>> are designed to be append-only, which
means you cannot send update or delete requests directly to a data stream. For
this reason, data streams are not supported as destination indices for
{transforms}.
[discrete]
[[transform-ilm-destination]]
== ILM as destination index may cause duplicated documents
<<index-lifecycle-management,ILM>> is not recommended to use as a {transform}
destination index. {transforms-cap} update documents in the current destination,
and cannot delete documents in the indices previously used by ILM. This may lead
to duplicated documents when you use {transforms} combined with ILM in case of a
rollover.
If you use ILM to have time-based indices, please consider using the
<<date-index-name-processor>> instead. The processor works without duplicated
documents if your {transform} contains a `group_by` based on `date_histogram`.
