Re-create Elasticsearch indices?

[Brian Levine]

Hi,

We'd like to disable Elasticsearch clustering and reduce the number of shards we're using. According to the Elasticsearch docs (for 1.5.x), this requires re-creating the index.  How would that be done in Open EdX?

Thanks!

Hi Brian,

The forum indexes can be re-initialized and rebuilt using rake commands (since the discussion forum is written in Ruby).

See:

Cheers,
