Elasticsearch: reindexing and zero-downtime migration
When to use
Use this skill for reindexing and zero-downtime migration in Elasticsearch. This skill
specifically handles reindexing and zero-downtime migration and nothing else in the
Elasticsearch family.
Procedure
Use the reindex API with aliases to migrate data to a new mapping, throttle reindex, and cut over with zero downtime.
Notes
This is the Elasticsearch skill dedicated to reindexing and zero-downtime migration.
Sibling skills cover other Elasticsearch capabilities; this one
is the right choice only when the task is about reindexing and zero-downtime migration.
