Reopen the index once done

    Correct, you cannot change analyzers on a live index. You need to close it and reopen it afterwards. – javanna Nov 04 '13 at 16:07

    Just curious how people do it on production if need arises? There you cannot close the index. – Sanjeev Kumar Dangi Oct 21 '15 at 10:24

    @SanjeevKumarDangi the usual pain ... create new index with new settings, reindex doc, update the alias – Lim H. May 18 '16 at 14:52

    some people do an index alias. the alias is used by the client for ingest always. so you could create a new index and hand poke it's settings. then move the alias to the new index (move is atomic). – Trevor Boyd Smith Nov 13 '20 at 16:45

I had the similar exception. Is your example complete? Are you creating the index before closing it?

In my case it was the following: "create index, close it, add settings, add other settings, add mapping, open index". Waiting for about 1s after index creation fixed the exception.

  • Waiting 1s between the creation of my index and its closing in order to update the settings solved the problem. Thks – Kevin. Oct 22 '14 at 08:49

    ES client has an API for this, something like this in C# `client.ClusterHealth(x => x.WaitForStatus(WaitForStatus.Green));` just so that you don't need to wait an arbitrary number – oleksii Feb 23 '16 at 16:16

For folks using AWS Elastic-search service, closing and opening is not allowed, They need to follow re-indexing as mentioned here.

Basically create a temp index with all mappings of current original index and add/modify those mappings and settings(where analyzers sit), delete original index and create a new index with that name and copy back all mappings and settings from temp index.
