creating an existing index throws #13
Description
According to the sources:
def create_index(self, fields, no_term_offsets=False,
no_field_flags=False, stopwords = None):
"""
Create the search index. Creating an existing index juts updates its properties
However, if I do this:
client = Client('testIndex')
client.create_index([TextField('test', weight=1.0), TextField('body')])
client.create_index([TextField('test', weight=2.0), TextField('body')])
I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 11, in <module>
client.create_index([TextField('test', weight=2.0), TextField('body')])
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/redisearch/client.py", line 164, in create_index
return self.redis.execute_command(*args)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/redis/client.py", line 668, in execute_command
return self.parse_response(connection, command_name, **options)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/redis/client.py", line 680, in parse_response
response = connection.read_response()
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/redis/connection.py", line 629, in read_response
raise response
redis.exceptions.ResponseError: Index already exists. Drop it first!
I don't mind putting create_index in a try/except, but this seems inconsistent with the documentation if I understand them correctly.
Thanks!
