James Rodewig 187f1e776b [DOCS] Offset clone index API headings to correct nav (#45097) 2019-08-01 11:22:41 -04:00
Yannick Welsch 0ce841915c Add Clone Index API (#44267)
Adds an API to clone an index. This is similar to the index split and shrink APIs, just with the
difference that the number of primary shards is kept the same. In case where the filesystem
provides hard-linking capabilities, this is a very cheap operation.

Indexing cloning can be done by running `POST my_source_index/_clone/my_target_index` and it
supports the same options as the split and shrink APIs.

Closes #44128
