Elasticsearch.NET version 7 - How to Check If Index Exists

Question

In Elasticsearch.NET 6.x, it is possible to check if index exists using IElasticClient method:

    bool exists = elasticClient.IndexExists("my-index-name").Exists;

Method is removed in Elasticsearch.NET version 7.

Answer 1

In Elasticsearch.NET version 7 methods related to indices operations are moved into IndicesNamespace, so IndexExists method has been moved to:

    bool exists = elasticClient.Indices.Exists("my-index-name").Exists;

Similarly, different methods have been moved to:

• Cat
• Cluster
• Graph
• Sql
• Nodes
• etc...
