Hi... I have a application, I´m using elasticsearch, mongodb, radis to go  
on heroku to run this.

I made some changes on this files "searchable" and "elasticsearch", because  
I wanna remove ngran filter. by what I am seeing I will have to create a  
new index, but how I can do this?

what are the steps?

$ curl -X POST  
[https://x3ercej5:y5divyk63msqjthf@oak-1405661.us-east-1.bonsai.io/\_close](https://x3ercej5:y5divyk63msqjthf@oak-1405661.us-east-1.bonsai.io/_close)

$ heroku run rake environment elasticsearch:import:all DIR=app/models  
--trace

$ curl -X POST  
[https://x3ercej5:y5divyk63msqjthf@oak-1405661.us-east-1.bonsai.io/\_open](https://x3ercej5:y5divyk63msqjthf@oak-1405661.us-east-1.bonsai.io/_open)
