# Index Data in Consistent Hashing Mode

In consistent hashing mode, Micro Focus recommends that you do not use the `Priority` index action parameter for any action that affects your data (for example, `DREADDDATA`, `DREREPLACE`, `DREDELETEREF`). You can use index action priorities for purely administrative index actions as usual (for example `DRESYNC`, `DRECOMPACT`, `DREBACKUP`).
