reindexing jira

unknown

hello team

I see that ij jira there are two types of reindex:

1. Background re-index

2. Lock jira and rebuild index

 

But i asked to do a foreground reindex , i do not undestand what does it mean foreground reindex , and what the impact when we do it .

Hi @[deleted], 

 

it's all explained here. Basically: 

Background reindex will take longer, but users will be able to continue using Jira without any impact.

Lock Jira and Rebuild index is faster but the entire instance is locked: nobody can access it and use it until the reindex is finished.

 

Let me know if you have any questions,
