Indices exists

edit

Used to check if the index (indices) exists or not.

Examples

edit

Fluent Syntax

edit

    var result = client.IndexExists(i => i.Index("myindex"));

Object Initializer Syntax

edit

    var request = new IndexExistsRequest("myindex");
    var result = client.IndexExists(request);

Handling the Index Exists response

edit

result in the above examples is an IExistsResponse which contains a bool property Exists.

One thing to note is that if an index does not exist, Elasticsearch will return a 404. In this case, a 404 is a valid response and thus result.IsValid will be true.
