Re-creating ES Index

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

I have a few questions with respect to the situation of needing to
re-create an index.

  1. Is there is any process to re-create an index apart from deleting the
    current one and creating it again with the documents ?
  2. During the situations of re-create, can we use the data already stored
    in the ES cluster ?
  3. Are there any easy ways of the doing the same without have any down-time
    to the running ES cluster ?

Appreciate any response on the same.

Thanks,
Karthik

Use aliases.

So you have an alias which goes to oldindex.
Reindex in newindex.
When done, switch the alias.

You can read old index using scan and scroll feature and reindex in the new index as soon as you kept the _source field.
