_reindex and frozen indices #51951

Open Mekk opened 4 years ago

Mekk commented 4 years ago

I tried to reindex frozen index. In case of globb-ed (*) value it was silently ignored, in case of explicit full name it was rejected as non-existing.

It would be nice if frozen indices could be reindexed, or at least if attempt to reindex them generated clear error message

Our plan is to remove the (old) frozen indices, see #70192 for current status. Hence we are closing this, since when that effort completes, the suggested change would no longer be useful.
