Problems creating replica indices

[Bruce773]

My implementation was actually pretty simple... I just created a script that would build the replica indices then construct the primaries all based on the queries I was originally passing into gatsby-plugin-algolia:

const algoliasearch = require('algoliasearch');
const { algoliaQueries, algoliaReplicaIndices } = require('./algoliaQueries');

module.exports.syncAlgoliaSettings = async function() {
    const client = algoliasearch(id, key);

    for (const item of algoliaReplicaIndices) {
      const { indexName, settings } = item;
      client
        .initIndex(indexName)
        .setSettings(settings, {}, (_err, content) =>
          console.log('Algolia replica index: ', content),
        );
    }

    for (const item of algoliaQueries) {
      const { indexName, settings, query, transformer } = item;
      client
        .initIndex(indexName)
        .setSettings(settings, { forwardToReplicas: true, transformer, query }, (_err, content) =>
          console.log(_err, content),
        );
    }
};

I kept getting an error saying A replica index is already replica of another index... I believe I tracked it down to the fact that replica indices were being added to _tmp indices... Once I filtered that out, it seemed to work. But, I'm still testing some things out.

Thanks for looking into this @Bruce773

I'd like to see what changes you've made to the plugin, to be honest, it wasn't made with replicas in mind initially, maybe just a few waitTask on the right spot should do the job just fine?

@Haroenv I spent some time digging into the plugin code and I think I've got a solution. :)
