Issue

In DXP 7.3, Synonym entries are only stored in the Elasticsearch index.

The requirement exists to clear the contents of the /indices folder: [LIFERAY.HOME/data/elasticsearch7/indices] when amending index settings or mappings, or in the case of migrating data between environments. The clearing action results in created entries being removed and in turn affect associated content search.

Request
Store synonyms in a more accessible location.

The index should be backed up and restored in the filesystem to preserve the synonym set when changes to, or migration of the Elasticsearch index are necessary.
