Helping users deal with UA-reindexed indices #121354

Open cjcenizal opened 2 years ago

Relates to:

When Upgrade Assistant reindexes 6.x indices, it renames them and prefixes them. This can be disruptive for users in a few ways:

This could also be confusing if future upgrades require subsequent reindexes. Will indices accumulate reindexed-reindexed- prefixes?

One possible solution to this problem could be to provide a tool in Index Management that identifies UA-reindexed indices based on their prefix, and handles "reindexing them back" for you, so they have their original name again.

We can also make it easier to search indices based on their aliases, or otherwise visualize the associations between indices and aliases.
