Hi, I've setup Elasticsearch with 1 cluster á 4 nodes. When I call a simple query like the following one multiple times I get different hits in the response: curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/index\_name/\_search?q=term&pretty=true](http://localhost:9200/index_name/_search?q=term&pretty=true)' What can I do? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Are the results inconsistent? I mean that you have a different number of documents found each time? Or you have the same total hits but the first ten hits are different each time? -- David Pilato | Technical Advocate | [Elasticsearch.com](http://Elasticsearch.com) @dadoonet | @elasticsearchfr Le 18 juin 2014 à 15:05:43, Mathias Gawlista ([gawlista@gmail.com](mailto:gawlista@gmail.com)) a écrit: Hi, I've setup Elasticsearch with 1 cluster á 4 nodes.

One or more shard is not up to date I think. May you had at some point something wrong.
