Delete indexes and workloads after Helm upgrade
When you upgrade your Helm chart because of a major release, like moving from 1.11.0 to 1.12.0, you need to delete the workloads before your next deployment. You also need to recreate the indexes folder from your Author environment.
After deleting an index, the system restarts and rebuilds them based on the data found in the persistence database.
Downtime varies depending on the amount of data associated with an index. This duration ranges from seconds to hours depending. To help reduce this downtime, we use the rollingUpdate approach.
