I have created an LDAP river and it is successfully pulling data from AD and updating my index. I now would like to make changes to the river definition. I have done some searching around and cannot find anything about it. Any assistance is appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Not sure what kind of changes would you like to make (maybe you can be more specific about it?), but in general you just delete the river and re-create it with the new settings.

Thanks Luca. That's what I needed. Pretty simple.
