Updating an index

The process of defining mappings is made flexible to suit your business requirements. However, an existing field in the mappings cannot be updated once created.

Also, Order Search supports a number of configurable settings that are provided by Elasticsearch to customize the index behavior as per your requirement. Settings are classified into static and dynamic. The static settings can be set only at index creation time and cannot be modified after that. The dynamic settings can be modified on a live index as well. You can use the updateSearchIndex API to add a new field to the schema or override dynamic settings of a created index.

For the list of dynamic settings, see Elasticsearch documentation.
