I have an existing index for which the default ElasticSearch similarity is used for all fields. I would like to update this index and set some other type of similarity, like BM25. The query I tried is:
curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:9200/myindex/' -d '{"settings":{"similarity":{"newSimilarity":{"type":"BM25"}}}}' However, this crashes with an IndexAlreadyExists exception. Still, is it possible to update the similarity measure for all fields inside this index without having to reindex the data?
