I think I've found a bug with ElasticSearch with \_mlt and node clients. We're running 0.19.8. We have two data nodes and each app server has its own ES instance running in node client mode. Searches and normal document GETs work fine, however when running \_mlt on a client node, I get an IndexMissingException. The exact same query works fine on the data node. I suspect \_mlt is only checking the local \_mlt To sum it up: On data node: $ curl [http://localhost:9200/foo/bar/1](http://localhost:9200/foo/bar/1) # Works $ curl [http://localhost:9200/foo/bar/1/\_mlt](http://localhost:9200/foo/bar/1/_mlt) # Works On client node: $ curl [http://localhost:9200/foo/bar/1](http://localhost:9200/foo/bar/1) # Works $ curl [http://localhost:9200/foo/bar/1/\_mlt](http://localhost:9200/foo/bar/1/_mlt) # Fails with IndexMissingException -- ---

So just to clarify, the client nodes are joined correctly in the cluster, so search works perfectly fine as well.
