Bucket Types

If you ever need to turn off indexing for a bucket, set the search_index property to the _dont_index_ sentinel value.

Bucket Properties

Although we recommend that you use all new buckets under a bucket type, if you have existing data with a type-free bucket (i.e. under the default bucket type) you can set the search_index property for a specific bucket.

Namespace catsBucket = new Namespace("cats");
StoreBucketPropsOperation storePropsOp = new StoreBucketPropsOperation.Builder(catsBucket)
        .withSearchIndex("famous")
        .build();
client.execute(storePropsOp);

bucket = client.bucket('cats')
bucket.properties = {'search_index' => 'famous'}

(new /Basho/Riak/Command/Builder/Search/AssociateIndex($riak))
    ->withName('famous')
    ->buildBucket('cats')
    ->build()
    ->execute();

bucket = client.bucket('cats')
bucket.set_properties({'search_index': 'famous'})

var properties = new RiakBucketProperties();
properties.SetSearchIndex("famous");
var rslt = client.SetBucketProperties("cats", properties);

var bucketProps_cb = function (err, rslt) {
    if (err) {
        throw new Error(err);
    }
    // success
};

var store = new Riak.Commands.KV.StoreBucketProps.Builder()
    .withBucket("cats")
    .withSearchIndex("famous")
    .withCallback(bucketProps_cb)
    .build();

client.execute(store);

riakc_pb_socket:set_search_index(Pid, <<"cats">>, <<"famous">>).

cmd, err := riak.NewStoreBucketPropsCommandBuilder().
    WithBucketType("animals").
    WithBucket("cats").
    WithSearchIndex("famous").
    Build()
if err != nil {
    return err
}

err = cluster.Execute(cmd)
