The FT._LIST
command provides a list of all indexes in your database:
> FT._LIST
1) "idx:movie"
FT.INFO
provides information about a specific index:
> FT.INFO "idx:movie"
1) "index_name"
2) "idx:movie"
...
5) "index_definition"
...
7) "fields"
...
9) "num_docs"
10) "4"
...
As you are build your application and add more information to the database you may need to add new fields to the index. The FT.ALTER
command enables you to do this.
> FT.ALTER idx:movie SCHEMA ADD plot TEXT WEIGHT 0.5
"OK"
The WEIGHT
declares the importance of this field when
calculating result accuracy. This is a multiplication factor (default is 1);
so in this example the plot is less important than the title.
Let's do a query with the new indexed field:
> FT.SEARCH idx:movie "empire @genre:{Action}" RETURN 2 title plot
You can drop an index using the FT.DROPINDEX
command.
> FT.DROPINDEX idx:movie
"OK"
Dropping an index does not impact the indexed hashes, this means that the movies are still inside the database.
>SCAN 0 MATCH movie:*
1) "0"
2) 1) "movie:11002"
2) "movie:11004"
3) "movie:11003"
4) "movie:11005"
You can delete the indexed document/hashes by adding the DD
parameter.
