When hitting same query multiple times getting different results.

We have Elasticsearch setup version 1.7.2 having 1 cluster with 6 nodes. Number of shards per index: 5; Number of replicas per index: 2

When I call a simple query like the following one multiple times I get different results (different total hits and different top 10 documents).

[http://localhost:9200/index\_name/\_search?q=term](http://localhost:9200/index_name/_search?q=term)

Can anyne help me why its happening ?
