How to create or verify ElementRangeIndexes in Marklogic from Flyway script - spring-boot

Question

How to create or verify ElementRangeIndexes in Marklogic from Flyway script. It is a pain to remember the elementRangeIndex to be manually don eon every Marklogic DB we migrate.

Answer 1

You may be able to use the Flyway gradle plugin, to execute ml-gradle configuration scripts.
Alternatively, you can use gradle to execute curl commands and create the indexes using the MarkLogic Management API endpoints.
An example of using Curl to define an index taken from Learning the MarkLogic REST API:
curl -X PUT --anyauth --user admin:admin --header "Content-Type:application/json" \
-d '{"word-positions": true,
"element-word-positions": true,
"range-element-index":
[ { "scalar-type": "string",
"namespace-uri": "",
"localname": "SPEAKER",
"collation": "http://marklogic.com/collation/",
"range-value-positions": false,
"invalid-values": "reject"
},
{ "scalar-type": "string",
"namespace-uri": "",
"localname": "affiliation",
"collation": "http://marklogic.com/collation/",
"range-value-positions": false,
"invalid-values": "reject"
},
{ "scalar-type": "int",
"namespace-uri": "",
"localname": "contentRating",
"collation": "",
"range-value-positions": false,
"invalid-values": "reject"
},
{ "scalar-type": "unsignedLong",
"namespace-uri": "http://marklogic.com/filter",
"localname": "size",
"collation": "",
"range-value-positions": false,
"invalid-values": "reject"
},
{ "scalar-type": "string",
"namespace-uri": "http://marklogic.com/filter",
"localname": "Exposure_Time",
"collation": "http://marklogic.com/collation/",
"range-value-positions": false,
"invalid-values": "reject"
}]}' \
