One option is to delete the index, create it, and index again to it. Another option is to work with aliases. Always search on a specific alias, which is mapped against "indexname\_1122", then create "indexname\_2233", index data into it, and remap the alias.

Just a question, It is possible to create an index (or re-index) without stop the entire cluster (as other technologies do) ? I.e create an index dynamically? Regards ---

Not sure I got the question. You can create an index through an API. You can index data into it. And, using the scan search type, you can scroll one index and index data into the next.
