[[reset-index-setting]]
|
|
===== Reset an index setting
|
|
To revert a setting to the default value, use `null`. For example:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
PUT /twitter/_settings
|
|
{
|
|
"index" : {
|
|
"refresh_interval" : null
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// CONSOLE
|
|
// TEST[setup:twitter]
|
|
|
|
The list of per-index settings which can be updated dynamically on live
|
|
indices can be found in <<index-modules>>.
|
|
To preserve existing settings from being updated, the `preserve_existing`
|
|
request parameter can be set to `true`.
|
|
|
|
[[bulk]]
|
|
===== Bulk indexing usage
|
|
|
|
For example, the update settings API can be used to dynamically change
|
|
the index from being more performant for bulk indexing, and then move it
|
|
to more real time indexing state. Before the bulk indexing is started,
|
|
use:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
PUT /twitter/_settings
|
|
{
|
|
"index" : {
|
|
"refresh_interval" : "-1"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// CONSOLE
|
|
// TEST[setup:twitter]
|
|
|
|
(Another optimization option is to start the index without any replicas,
|
|
and only later adding them, but that really depends on the use case).
|
|
|
|
Then, once bulk indexing is done, the settings can be updated (back to
|
|
the defaults for example):
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
PUT /twitter/_settings
|
|
{
|
|
"index" : {
|
|
"refresh_interval" : "1s"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// CONSOLE
|
|
// TEST[continued]
|
|
|
|
And, a force merge should be called:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
POST /twitter/_forcemerge?max_num_segments=5
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// CONSOLE
|
|
// TEST[continued]
|
|
|
|
[[update-settings-analysis]]
|
|
===== Update index analysis
|
|
|
|
You can only define new analyzers on closed indices.
|
|
|
|
To add an analyzer,
|
|
you must close the index,
|
|
define the analyzer,
|
|
and reopen the index.
|
|
For example,
|
|
the following commands add the `content` analyzer to `myindex`:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
POST /twitter/_close
|
|
|
|
PUT /twitter/_settings
|
|
{
|
|
"analysis" : {
|
|
"analyzer":{
|
|
"content":{
|
|
"type":"custom",
|
|
"tokenizer":"whitespace"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
POST /twitter/_open
|
|
