Index operations with Playground

Datashare Playground is a set of batch scripts to interact Datashare's ElasticSearch index.

Use playground to update index's mappings and settings

Some Datashare updates can bring some fixes and improvements on the index, the index has to be reindexed accordingly.

1. Create a temporary empty index and specify the desired Datashare version number:

./elasticsearch/index/create.sh <temporary_index> <ds_version_number>

2. Reindex all documents (under "/" path) from the original index under to temporary one:

This step can take some time if your index has plenty of documents.

./elasticsearch/documents/reindex.sh <original_index> <temporary_index> /

3. Replace the old index by the new one:

./elasticsearch/index/replace.sh <temporary_index> <original_index>

4. Delete the temporary index:

./elasticsearch/index/delete.sh <temporary_index>
