Partial/selective indexes about elassandra HOT 3 CLOSED

Yes, in elassandra, if a partition function return an index name unavailable (does not exist, is closed or not writable), data is not indexed (for this partition function, but you can set many partition functions with different names).

If you don't want to delete old indices but continue to search in it, you can also set a index.block.write=true (a dynamic index setting), and new data won't be indexed in that index (but still in some other if there is....)

index partition function works fine for time-frame indices, its easy to delete later on, but also for any other split rule, like per-user index or per-country index with any dedicated mapping or access rules...

Hmm, I thought the partition function also created the index if it didn't exist. Wouldn't it make more sense to automatically create the index if it doesn't exist ?
And not create an index when it returns Null/empty-string ?

Keep in mind that creating an index involve a PAXOS transaction to update the mapping, so you cannot afford this from many indexing threads.
