Can I run a River "on demand" or do I have to wait for it's polling time to expire? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

If you want to do that, that means you probably don't need a River but something similar to a batch I guess. To answer to your question, I think that it first depends on the river implementation itself. In most cases, remove the river and create it again. It should do the trick. ## HTH David 😉 Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs Le 8 oct. 2013 à 21:46, Richard [richard.seidel@mercy.net](mailto:richard.seidel@mercy.net) a écrit : > ## Can I run a River "on demand" or do I have to wait for it's polling time to expire? > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to [elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com). > For more options, visit [https://groups.google.com/groups/opt\_out](https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

As David mentioned, it depends on the river implementation. For JDBC river you could use: curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/\_river/my\_jdbc\_river/\_induce' -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
