You can reindex into a new index name, like "a_2". Then, you can use aliases
to mask that from the clients that search on the index. For example, have an
alias call "a", and map it to "a_1" index. When you reindex, index into a
new index called "a_2", and once its done, flip the alias "a" from "a_1" to
"a_2". The aliases API is described here:
