        # "Flush" the index or indices.
        #
        # The "flush" operation clears the transaction log and memory and writes data to disk.
        # It corresponds to a Lucene "commit" operation.
        #
        # @note The flush operation is handled automatically by Elasticsearch, you don't need to perform it manually.
        #
        # @option arguments [List] :index A comma-separated list of index names; use `_all` or empty string for all indices
        # @option arguments [Boolean] :force Whether a flush should be forced even if it is not necessarily needed ie.
        #                                    if no changes will be committed to the index. (Internal)
        # @option arguments [Boolean] :full If set to true a new index writer is created and settings that have been
        #                                   changed related to the index writer will be refreshed. (Internal)
        # @option arguments [Boolean] :allow_no_indices Whether to ignore if a wildcard indices expression resolves into
        #                                               no concrete indices. (This includes `_all` string or when no

        #                                              are open, closed or both. (options: open, closed)
        # @option arguments [String] :ignore_indices When performed on multiple indices, allows to ignore
        #                                            `missing` ones (options: none, missing) @until 1.0
        # @option arguments [Boolean] :ignore_unavailable Whether specified concrete indices should be ignored when
        #                                                 unavailable (missing, closed, etc)
