All Implemented Interfaces:

Enclosing class:
SystemIndexDescriptor
public static enum SystemIndexDescriptor.Type extends Enum<SystemIndexDescriptor.Type>
The specific type of system index that this descriptor represents. System indices can be one of four defined types; the type is used to control behavior. Elasticsearch itself and plugins have system indices that are necessary for their features; these system indices are referred to as internal system indices. System indices can also belong to features outside of Elasticsearch that may be part of other Elastic stack components. These are external system indices as the intent is for these to be accessed via normal APIs with a special value. Within both internal and external system indices, there are two sub-types. The first are those that are managed by Elasticsearch and will have mappings/settings changed as the cluster itself is upgraded. The second are those managed by the owning applications code and for those Elasticsearch will not perform any updates. Internal system indices are almost always managed indices that Elasticsearch manages, but there are cases where the component of Elasticsearch will need to manage the system indices itself.
