I have a couple Magento stores, and have them hooked up to an Elasticsearch server. On just one of the stores, it seems to regularly create new index names every day, which leads to overage issues with the ES hosting service. I can’t figure out why this is happening.
I’ve had it working before where it creates a single index and just continues to update that regularly. But this seems to be abandon the old index and generates a new one under a new name. Also odd is that it is naming them even numbers.
mage_rs_product_1_v10 5.2MB
mage_rs_product_1_v12 3.6MB
mage_rs_product_1_v14 5.2MB
mage_rs_product_1_v16 3.7MB
mage_rs_product_1_v18 3.9MB
The latest one I presume is v18. Are all these indexes needed, or am I correct in that it is creating new ones and the older ones are obsolete? Is there a way to auto delete old indexes not being used when Magento creates a new one?
