== Open / Close Index API
|
||
|
|
||
|
The open and close index APIs allow to close an index, and later on
|
||
|
opening it. A closed index has almost no overhead on the cluster (except
|
||
|
for maintaining its metadata), and is blocked for read/write operations.
|
||
|
A closed index can be opened which will then go through the normal
|
||
|
recovery process.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The REST endpoint is `/{index}/_close` and `/{index}/_open`. For
|
||
|
example:
|
||
|
|
||
|
[source,js]
|
||
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/my_index/_close'
|
||
|
|
||
|
curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/my_index/_open'
|
