Computation of total in Reindex API status response

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I call Reindex API by creating a Task (wait_for_completion=false). I then use _tasks API to get the details of the task once it is completed. Part of the task response is the response of the Reindex API with created, updated, deleted, version_conflicts, total counts. Note that my client uses conflicts: proceed to not abort on version conflicts. I have the following two questions.

  1. Is updated + deleted + created + version_conflicts supposed to equal total if everything succeeded, or do version_conflicts not get counted towards the computation of total, even when conflcits:proceed is set?

  2. With conflcits:proceed set, are version conflicts expected to be in the failures list of the Reindex response?
