Operations: How to Disable an Index

The DisableIndexOperation is used to turn the indexing off for a given index. Querying a disabled index is allowed, but it may return stale results.

Note

Unlike StopIndex or StopIndexing disable index is a persistent operation, so the index remains disabled even after a server restart.

Syntax

public DisableIndexOperation(String indexName)
Parameters
indexName String name of an index to disable indexing

Example

store.maintenance().send(new DisableIndexOperation("Orders/Totals"));
// index is disabled at this point, new data won't be indexed
// but you can still query on this index
