Re-indexing author and publish instances separately

Hello

As part of our upcoming deployment, CQ indexes will have to be rebuilt. On publish instances, we do a rolling reindex - bring down a publisher, reindex, start. The authors, however, are clustered, so (to my understanding), they all have to be brought down, reindexed, and brought up (master followed by slaves). Here are the questions:

1. Is it possible to bring down master, reindex, start and then do the same to slaves?

2. Is it possible to reindex publishers and authors separately? That is, can the indexes on authors and publish be different?

 

Thanks,

 

Eli

Each cluster instances has own copy of indexes. You can do reindex on any cluster nodes. It is not required to bring down all the cluster & start reindexing from master. Yes Q1 in your post is possible & also once you do on master you can copy over to slave the idea is at [1]  how to do it.

Yes you can reindex publishers and authors separately.
