Tire + elastic search - forced import

Question

In the README bus driver, I see that they offer two ways to import the model:

rake environment tire:import CLASS='Article' rake environment tire:import CLASS='Article' FORCE=true 

I can understand that FORCE = true will delete the index before the re-index, but what is the advantage?

Answer 1

Deleting and re-creating the index from scratch is useful mainly when changing the model display during development.
