Unfollow an index Added in 6.5.0
Convert a cross-cluster replication follower index to a regular index. The API stops the following task associated with a follower index and removes index metadata and settings associated with cross-cluster replication. The follower index must be paused and closed before you call the unfollow API.
Currently cross-cluster replication does not support converting an existing regular index to a follower index. Converting a follower index to a regular index is an irreversible operation.
Path parameters
-
The name of the follower index.
Query parameters
-
master_timeout string
The period to wait for a connection to the master node. If the master node is not available before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error. It can also be set to
-1
to indicate that the request should never timeout.
