Hi, Is there a way to check whether the index (and couchdb river) are up to date with changes after we add a batch of documents? We have a workflow that involves adding new content to the index and then running some reports against it, but obviously I need to wait to run the reports until all the changes are in the index. I've had a look at the various status request/responses, and a fair bit of googling around, but I can't see anything obvious - quite possible I've missed it though.

The only thing I can think about is by get \_seq document from couchdb river. curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/\_river/my\_db/\_seq' And see if `last_seq` field has the same value as the couchdb \_changes API has. -- David Pilato | Technical Advocate | [Elasticsearch.com](http://Elasticsearch.com) @dadoonet | @elasticsearchfr Le 18 mars 2014 à 13:39:04, Andrew Coulton ([andrew@ingenerator.com](mailto:andrew@ingenerator.com)) a écrit: Hi, Is there a way to check whether the index (and couchdb river) are up to date with changes after we add a batch of documents?
