Description of the Change
When a term is edited, all related posts should be re-indexed. This is very important when it comes to term-based queries which happen pretty regularly on our platform.
Filters for skipping this process have also been added since at large affected-post counts, things tend to fail. We handle these occurrences in a separate queue system that asynchronously processes indexing jobs.

Alternate Designs
We didn't consider any other designs.
Benefits
Post data remains consistent with the database which keeps queries returning expected results.
Possible Drawbacks
The default behaviour is problematic when there are a lot of posts affected. We only do this behaviour for 10k or less posts and offload any indexing with counts above that to be processed asynchronously.
Verification Process
We noticed data inconsistencies when comparing posts from the DB against posts from ES when editing terms. After applying these changes, the index and the DB were consistent.
