When we query the elastic search 1.7 with paginated result and not setting any sort option, We are always getting different results for each page.

So We had modified query with preference =\_primary and, its starting giving the same results in each page.

Does this setting always give same records for each page. when there is simultaneous update, does this setting work ? is there record miss when there is a simultaneous update
