Hi

Is there a way to build a new (smaller) index from an existing (larger) index where the smaller index contains a subset of the fields of the larger index? 

thank you

Nope. You can do this if you've stored _all_ the fields (with the exception
of
_version_ and the destinations of copyField directives). But there's no way
I
know of to do what you want if you haven't.

If you have, you'd be essentially spinning through all your docs and
re-indexing
just the fields you cared about. But if you still have access to your
original
docs this would be slower/more complicated than just re-indexing from
scratch.

Best
Erick
