Reindexing a big index without down time

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi.

I have a really big index with 100 millions of documents.
I want to add some new fields, change existing ones and delete the redundant ones by applying explicit index. I will also use alias to switch the indiced.

--> existing_index - ALIAS
--> new_index -> ALIAS

But the problem is that I am pulling the new documents continuously from a database. In this case I have to stop Logstash to write to existing index, then reindex it and switch alias.

Is there any better way to do it without stopping Logstash?

Thanks.
