Is there a way to have elasticsearch deny index requests on an index?

Is there a way to have elasticsearch deny index requests on an index?
The usecase for this is that when I want to update a mapping of a type, I'd
like to deny incomming indexing requests while I'm reindexing into a new
index.

Thanks

In upcoming 0.19, you will be able to set an index to be read only: Set an index / indices to read only, or make the cluster read only · Issue #1573 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub.

Can this setting be set dynamically? Must the index be closed in order
to reopen it as read-only? I am assuming the standard Lucene
performance (greater concurrency) benefit applies.

I am thinking of using this feature in conjunction with index aliases.
Write to a new index and then setting it to read only.

Yes, you can set it dynamically using the index update settings API. If you have a closed index, you can first update its settings to be read only, and then open it. Don't understand the greater concurrency comment…, do you mean that if an index is read only, it will have better concurrency? in this case, the answer is no, ti will have the same.
