=== Rollover Index API

[id="{upid}-{api}-request"]
==== Rollover Request

The Rollover Index API requires a +{request}+ instance.
A +{request}+ requires two string arguments at construction time, and
one or more conditions that determine when the index has to be rolled over:

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> The alias (first argument) that points to the index to rollover, and
optionally the name of the new index in case the rollover operation is performed
<2> Condition on the age of the index
<3> Condition on the number of documents in the index
<4> Condition on the size of the index

==== Optional arguments
The following arguments can optionally be provided:

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-dryRun]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Whether the rollover should be performed (default) or only simulated

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-timeout]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Timeout to wait for the all the nodes to acknowledge the index is opened
as a `TimeValue`
<2> Timeout to wait for the all the nodes to acknowledge the index is opened
as a `String`

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-masterTimeout]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Timeout to connect to the master node as a `TimeValue`
<2> Timeout to connect to the master node as a `String`

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-waitForActiveShards]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> The number of active shard copies to wait for before the rollover index API
returns a response, as an `int`
<2> The number of active shard copies to wait for before the rollover index API
returns a response, as an `ActiveShardCount`

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-settings]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Add the settings to apply to the new index, which include the number of
shards to create for it

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-mapping]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Add the mappings to associate the new index with. See <<java-rest-high-create-index-request-mappings>>
for examples on the different ways to provide mappings

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-alias]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Add the aliases to associate the new index with

include::../execution.asciidoc[]

[id="{upid}-{api}-response"]
==== Rollover Response

The returned +{response}+ allows to retrieve information about the
executed operation as follows:

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-response]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Indicates whether all of the nodes have acknowledged the request
<2> Indicates whether the requisite number of shard copies were started for
each shard in the index before timing out
<3> The name of the old index, eventually rolled over
<4> The name of the new index
<5> Whether the index has been rolled over
<6> Whether the operation was performed or it was a dry run
<7> The different conditions and whether they were matched or not
