V3.5 easy way to rebuild indexes?

[mike_r_black]

With v3.5 the index provider has changed. Anyone know of a slick way to rebuild all the indexes or do I need to go one by one and drop and recreate them?

You can generate a script by using cypher to drop and recreate them.

Using Cypher to generate Cypher statements to recreate indexes and constraints Cypher

The following can be used to extract index defintions and constraint defintions from an existing database and the resultant output can be played back on another Neo4j database. To extract Cypher CREATE INDEX statements run: CALL db.indexes() YIELD description RETURN 'CREATE ' + description To extract Cypher CREATE CONSTRAINT statements run: CALL db.constraints() YIELD description RETURN 'CREATE ' + description

Thanks! That's what I ended up doing, basically arriving at the same dynamic script you had made. Possible feature suggestion for future releases, an index rebuild procedure?
