## Clear index or data stream cache
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Clears the caches of one or more indexes. For data streams, the API clears the caches of the stream’s backing indexes.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you use the security plugin, you must have the `manage index` privileges.

### Path parameters
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
| Parameter | Data Type | Description |
|
|||
|
|
:--- | :--- | :---
|
|||
|
|
| target | String | Comma-delimited list of data streams, indexes, and index aliases to apply cache clearing. Wildcard expressions (`*`) are supported. To target all data streams and indexes in a cluster, omit this parameter or use `_all` or `*`. Optional. |
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Query parameters
|
|||
|
|
|

|

|
|
| Parameter | Data Type | Description |
|
|||
|
|
:--- | :--- | :---
|
|||
|
|
| allow_no_indices | Boolean | Whether to ignore wildcards, index aliases, or `_all` target (`target` path parameter) values that don’t match any indexes. If `false`, the request returns an error if any wildcard expression, index alias, or `_all` target values don't match any indexes. This behavior also applies if the request targets include other open indexes. For example, a request where the target is `fig*,app*` returns an error if an index starts with `fig` but no index starts with `app`. Defaults to `true`. |
|
|||
|
|
| expand_wildcards | String | Determines the index types that wildcard expressions can expand to. Accepts multiple values separated by a comma, such as `open,hidden`. Valid values are: <br /><br /> `all` - Expand to open, closed, and hidden indexes.<br /><br />`open` - Expand only to open indexes.<br /><br />`closed` - Expand only to close indexes<br /><br />`hidden` - Expand to include hidden indexes. Must be combined with `open`, `closed`, or `both`.<br /><br />`none` - Expansions are not accepted.<br /><br /> Defaults to `open`. |
|
|||
|
|
| fielddata | Boolean | If `true`, clears the fields cache. Use the `fields` parameter to clear specific fields' caches. Defaults to `true`. |
|
|||
|
|
| fields | String | Used in conjunction with the `fielddata` parameter. Comma-delimited list of field names to clear cache. Does not support objects or field aliases. Defaults to all fields. |
|
|||
|
|
| index | String | Comma-delimited list of index names to clear cache. |
|
|||
|
|
| ignore_unavailable | Boolean | If `true`, OpenSearch ignores missing or closed indexes. Defaults to `false`. |
|
|||
|
|
| query | Boolean | If `true`, clears the query cache. Defaults to `true`. |
|
|||
|
|
| request | Boolean | If `true`, clears the request cache. Defaults to `true`. |
