How soon after creating an index can I do an upsert? I had problems with the delay in initializing an index, but I don’t know if it’s something exclusive to the free plan.
Hi. The index needs to be in a ‘ready’ status for it to be able to start taking upserts. The amount of time for an index varies on the size, type and whether it’s being created from a collection. It is not related to a free or paid plan. The pods are the same. If you feel like there is an issue initializing the index, please put in a support ticket at https://support.pinecone.io.
I found this article which helped me: https://support.pinecone.io/hc/en-us/articles/7985415079453-How-do-I-keep-my-customer-data-separate-in-Pinecone-. I’m going to change the approach I use to store in indexes that already exists.
Thanks!
