Rebuilds the search index. Re-constructs the index after changes to the index schema,
such as adding or removing fields, adding a copy field or changing field settings. Queries
using the solr_query option may return no results, partial, or old data while the index is
rebuilding.
Note: Use the RELOAD command to replace the active search index with the pending
version.
Restriction: Command available only on DSE Search nodes.
Running search index management commands on a large datasets may take longer than the CQLSH
default timeout of 10 minutes, increase the CQLSH client timeout
as required.

Syntax conventions
Description
UPPERCASE
Literal keyword.
Lowercase
Not literal.
Italics
Variable value. Replace with a user-defined value.
[]
Optional. Square brackets ( [] ) surround optional command
arguments. Do not type the square brackets.
( )
Group. Parentheses ( ( ) ) identify a group to choose from. Do
not type the parentheses.
|
Or. A vertical bar ( | ) separates alternative elements. Type
any one of the elements. Do not type the vertical bar.
...
Repeatable. An ellipsis ( ... ) indicates that you can repeat
the syntax element as often as required.
'Literal string'
Single quotation ( ' ) marks must surround literal strings in
CQL statements. Use single quotation marks to preserve upper case.
{ key : value }
Map collection. Braces ( { } ) enclose map collections or key
value pairs. A colon separates the key and the value.
<datatype1,datatype2>
Set, list, map, or tuple. Angle brackets ( < > ) enclose
data types in a set, list, map, or tuple. Separate the data types with a comma.
cql_statement;
End CQL statement. A semicolon ( ; ) terminates all CQL
statements.
[--]
Separate the command line options from the command arguments with two hyphens (
-- ). This syntax is useful when arguments might be mistaken for
command line options.
' <schema> ... </schema> '
Search CQL only: Single quotation marks ( ' ) surround an
entire XML schema declaration.
@xml_entity='xml_entity_type'
Search CQL only: Identify the entity and literal value to overwrite the XML
element in the schema and solrConfig files.
OPTIONS
The request option configures the entire request to specify whether to
delete the existing index:
deleteAll
true Completely replaces the existing index. Use when changes
to the schema affect the way that data is physically stored, such as changes to
the field type analyzer, a column data type, etc.
false (Default.) Keeps existing search index data. Reindexing
happens in-place; search results will return partially incorrect results while the
index is updating. Keep the current index (accepting reads) while you build the
new one, then swap over to the new index after it's ready. Use when table columns
are removed or added to the index.
