Elasticsearch bulk manual index refreshing

Currently my index has this option:

{
  "index" : {
    "refresh_interval" : "-1"
  }
}

Which should mean that index needs to be manually refreshed once data has been pushed into it to make content searchable.

My application, which indexes data, refreshes index once bulk inserting is done.

Is this a good approach or is there a other recommended way to do that?

Why isn't your app setting back the `refresh_interval` ? – Andrei Stefan Jun 26 '15 at 11:20
Is there any need to do that? I'd like my content to be refreshed only if something has been modified there. Would it be better to disable `refresh_interval` before indexing and enable it after indexing is done? – Evaldas Buinauskas Jun 26 '15 at 11:22
Yes, I thought I suggested the same in my previous comment... – Andrei Stefan Jun 26 '15 at 11:27
Out of curiousity. Is there any benefit by it this way? Looks like you're someone who could answer it. – Evaldas Buinauskas Jun 26 '15 at 11:31
You avoid continuous segments merging, which eats up some CPU and a lot of IO. – Andrei Stefan Jun 26 '15 at 11:32
