Deleted the confusing comment and added implemented as a mutation, like MATERIALIZE INDEX.

# Manipulating Data Skipping Indices
|
|
|
|
The following operations are available:
|
|
|
|
- `ALTER TABLE [db].table_name [ON CLUSTER cluster] ADD INDEX name expression TYPE type GRANULARITY value [FIRST|AFTER name]` - Adds index description to tables metadata.
|
|
|
|
- `ALTER TABLE [db].table_name [ON CLUSTER cluster] DROP INDEX name` - Removes index description from tables metadata and deletes index files from disk. Implemented as a [mutation](/docs/en/sql-reference/statements/alter/index.md#mutations).
|
|
|
|
- `ALTER TABLE [db.]table_name [ON CLUSTER cluster] MATERIALIZE INDEX name [IN PARTITION partition_name]` - Rebuilds the secondary index `name` for the specified `partition_name`. Implemented as a [mutation](/docs/en/sql-reference/statements/alter/index.md#mutations). If `IN PARTITION` part is omitted then it rebuilds the index for the whole table data.
|
|
|
|
The first two commands are lightweight in a sense that they only change metadata or remove files.
|
|
|
|
Also, they are replicated, syncing indices metadata via ZooKeeper.

:::note
|
|
Index manipulation is supported only for tables with [`*MergeTree`](/docs/en/engines/table-engines/mergetree-family/mergetree.md) engine (including [replicated](/docs/en/engines/table-engines/mergetree-family/replication.md) variants).
