Set to `true` to disable index metadata reads and writes.
`index.blocks.read_only_allow_delete`::
Similar to `index.blocks.read_only`, but also allows deleting the index to
make more resources available. The <<disk-based-shard-allocation,disk-based shard
allocator>> adds and removes this block automatically.
Deleting documents from an index - rather than deleting the index itself - can
in fact increase the index size. When you are running out of disk space
`index.blocks.read_only_allow_delete` is set to `true`, preventing you from
consuming more disk space by deleting some documents. However, this block does
permit you to delete the index itself since this does not require any extra
disk space. When you delete an index the data is removed from disk almost
immediately, freeing the space it consumes.
IMPORTANT: {es} adds the read-only-allow-delete index block automatically when
disk utilisation exceeds the <<cluster-routing-flood-stage,flood-stage
watermark>> and removes it again when disk utilisation is below the
<<cluster-routing-watermark-high,high watermark>>. You should not apply this
block yourself.
