This is normal. Elastically creates a new index everytime you call IndexBuilder->createIndex
and change the alias to te latest index with the method markAsLive
.
If you want to remove old indices because you don't need them anymore, there's a method purgeOldIndices
in the IndexBuilder.php.
Call it, and old indices will be removed.
See the doc here: https://github.com/jolicode/elastically/blob/223752b125f17e7ccb8563adc0657c1eccfa3a94/README.md#demo
This is the intended behavior. You only want ONE index to be "live" at a time because this is where your searches are done.
Does that answer your question? May I recommend reeding https://jolicode.com/blog/introducing-elastically-our-elastica-ally too?
Cheers
Thank you for your quick replies !
Yes you answered my question, I read the entire documentation more carefully and the method I was looking for is migrate
As far as I understand, when I need to update my index while keeping the old data available, I need to call migrate
, markAsLive
and purgeOldIndices
Thank you Cheers
Yes absolutely :+1: Thanks!
Hi, I'm new here so I'm not sure it is a real problem, but there's something I do not understand :
When I create multiple indices "foobar_{date}" with the alias "foobar", only the last index is aliased. The former indices are not aliased anymore.
I work on V1.0.2 and ES 7.10.0
I hope someone can clarify this to me, thank you !
