The FT._LIST command provides a list of all indexes in your database:
FT.INFO provides information about a specific index:

#Updating your Indexing

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.

#Dropping the Index

You can drop an index using the FT.DROPINDEX command.

NOTE
You can delete the indexed document/hashes by adding the DD parameter.
