I am trying to index and remove some document in the index using BulkRequestBuilder java api. When I execute the bulk the changes in the index is not happening immediately. If I do some delete operation using the bulk after quite long time the data is getting deleted from the index. Is there any property to be set to make the changes get reflected in the index immediately after the bulk execution. Thanks in advance. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hey, the refresh API might help you in this case after you finished indexing... however unless you changed your configuration, a 'quite long time' should be very short... > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI.

Thanks for ur reply Mr.Alexander Reelsen. Any how I had set setRefresh(true) to my bulkRequestBuilder after setting this I was able to search for the documents that I had indexed using the bulk but the the documents which I had deleted using the bulk remains unchanged I am using elasticSearch 19.8 - Java api With regards Muzammil A On Wednesday, April 3, 2013 11:50:46 AM UTC+5:30, Alexander Reelsen wrote: > Hey, > > the refresh API might help you in this case after you finished indexing... > however unless you changed your configuration, a 'quite long time' should > be very short... > [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/admin-indices-refresh/) > > On Wed, Apr 3, 2013 at 8:10 AM, \<[muzammi...@enhancesys.com](mailto:muzammi...@enhancesys.com) \\>wrote: > > > I am trying to index and remove some document in the index > > using BulkRequestBuilder java api.

Document deletes just mark documents as deleted until next segment merge. To enforce visibility of deleted documents to all index readers, you must optimize the index (to trigger a segment merge). Note, using refresh/optimize is very harmful to performance.

Hi Jorg Prante, You mean than I need to do the following coding OptimizeRequest optimize = new OptimizeRequest(); optimize.waitForMerge(false); client.admin().indices().optimize(optimize); I just want to know that I am doing it right.

You must wait for delete expunges if you want to be sure each delete has been executed. ``` OptimizeRequest request = new ``` OptimizeRequest().onlyExpungeDeletes(true).waitForMerge(true); client.admin().indices().optimize(request).actionGet(); Note, I strongly recommend against using this feature for each document you delete unless you know that you are destroying all the performance ES can offer.
