index.clear_synonyms(Boolean forwardToReplicas)

About this method

Remove all synonyms from an index.

This is a convenience method to delete all synonyms at once.

This Clear All method should not be used on a production index to push a new list of synonyms because it will result in a short down period during which the index would have no synonyms at all. Instead, use the batch method (with replaceExistingSynonyms set to true) to atomically replace all synonyms of an index with no down time.

Examples

Clear all synonyms and forward to replicas

1

3
$index->clearSynonyms([
  'forwardToReplicas' => true
]);

Parameters

forwardToReplicas
type: boolean
default: false
optional

Will delete synonyms on all replicas. Without this parameter, or by setting it to false, the method sill apply the change only to the specified index. If you want to forward your deletes to your replicas you will need to set this parameter to true.
