Reindexing with play2-elasticsearch?

[ozgunduz]

How would I use play2-elasticseach if I want to add a alias to an index to be able to do reindexing (after creating a new index I
need to change the alias to connect to the right one and I can delete the old index) ?

Also, I do not want to delete the index when the application is stopped.

This way I will minimize the downtime of the application.

Any suggestions?

Even I am interested in knowing how we can reindex. Right now in my model edit, I am calling the index() method.

It seems there is no wrapper for managing index. but you can still access them through native Elasticsearch API.

for example,
IndexClient.client.admin().indices().prepareAliases().addAlias(oldIndex, indexAlias).removeAlias(newIndex, indexAlias).execute().actionGet()
