I am facing a weird issue with elasticsearch.
I am working on a Laravel project and need to integrate elastic search with it.
I am using https://github.com/babenkoivan/scout-elasticsearch-driver along with Laravel Scout.
Initially everything worked fine and I was also able to search. When it worked fine, I wanted to drop my index and reindex everything from scratch. But after that when I ran my seeder, I got an "Index not found exception". Then to test it I created index and type. eg: TestIndex/department
After that the seeder ran fine and I didn't get the "index not found exception". However, it didn't use the index which I created. It created a new index of the form "TestIndex_write/department"
Can someone please explain what am I doing wrong? why is new index with a different name being created automatically?
I am using ElasticSearch > 6.0
