Clone Index
Clones an existing index.
Indices can only be cloned if they meet the following requirements:
- The target index must not exist.
- The source index must have the same number of primary shards as the target index.
- The node handling the clone process must have sufficient free disk space to accommodate a second copy of the existing index.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Index | Name of the source index to clone. |
| Settings | Configuration options for the target index. |
| Target Index | Name of the target index to create.Index names must meet the following criteria:- Lowercase only |
- Cannot include \, /, *, ?, ”, <, >, |, ’ ’ (space character), , (comma), #
- Indices prior to 7.0 could contain a colon (:), but that’s been deprecated and won’t be supported in 7.0+
- Cannot start with -, _, +
- Cannot be . or ..
- Cannot be longer than 255 bytes (note it is bytes, so multi-byte characters will count towards the 255 limit faster)
- Names starting with . are deprecated, except for hidden indices and internal indices managed by plugins. |
