Start reindexing programmatically

We have a screen in our web application where the user can select a list of XPaths for which he wants to create Path range indexes.

We are looking for a way to start reindexing by using REST/Java/XQuery(auto reindexing is disabled). this reindexing will be triggered when the user clicks on the Reindex button provided in my web application.

We are using MarkLogic v10.

Solution

  • You should be able to call the Management REST endpoint to kick off a reindex:

    Alternatively, you could enable automatic-reindexing prior to adding the new indexes:
