Export of aliases #66

Open jprante opened 9 years ago

jprante commented 9 years ago

I have one question regarding your knapsack plugin: Is there any way to avoid exporting of aliases? We have a lot of documents to export and reimport again to another index. I found no way to export it faster than using “tar.gz” format. Even if I export to tar or zip, the file gets so big, that the tools (tar or zip) are not able to delete the “alias” entry before I reimport. The issue is that we do not want to automatically set up the alias, when the import starts. We have to do it later, when the import is finished. Do you have any suggestion? Thank you in advance!
