Delete an Index

[Madan Mohan]

I have created an index and added an URL to crawl. After a successful crawl of
30 pages I would like to add that URL to the exclusion list and then get the
details of the indexes created. After getting the response (in an XML format)
I would like to delete this index. I am doing an API request from another
application (for all these activities).

I am unable to delete the Index with the following request. Please help me ...

http://localhost:8080/schema?cmd=deleteindex&index.name=index1&index.template
=WEB_CRAWLER

I got the below response. However, the index is not deleted.

<response>

<entry key="Status">OK</entry>

<entry key="Info">Nothing to do</entry>

</response>

Hello Madan,

For deleting an index through the API you need another parameter named
"index.delete.name".

The "index.name" and the "index.delete.name"should be same.

The parameter "index.template" is not needed for deleting an index it is used
for creating an index.

Example for deleting an index through API:

http://localhost:8080/schema?cmd=deleteindex&index.name=index1&index.delete.n
ame=index1

The response will be show below

<response>
    <entry key="Info">Index deleted: index1</entry>
    <entry key="Status">OK</entry>
    </response>

Thanks much Naveen. This works for me.

May be the below URL has to be updated to help more people. Please correct me
if my understanding is wrong. Thanks again.
