We are in the process of reindexing data from one cluster another cluster. We are observing `docs.deleted` is `0` which is different from the old cluster. We tried `curl -X POST "localhost:9200/_refresh?pretty"` , but no use. Questions: 1. Do we really need to care about `docs.deleted`? 2. How can we get the docs.deleted instead perform the reindexing again. ---

> [@mouli\_v](#): > > - Do we really need to care about `docs.deleted` ? Probably not. If you deleted docs it seems strange that you now mind that they're no longer there 🙂 This is the behaviour I'd expect: reindexing will only reindex the docs that weren't deleted. ---
