Hi , I am facing an issue on AWS Elastic search instance. I am sending POST api request to create/update the document in ES , somehow the version gets updated but on querying the record , it still shows the old record. I am getting the below response :Response: { "\_index": "test", "\_type": "\_doc", "\_id": "22492123", "\_version": 4, "result": "updated", "\_shards": { "total": 2, "successful": 2, "failed": 0 }, "\_seq\_no": 197, "\_primary\_term": 1 } Can help to guide on the same. Thanks ---

How did you retrieve the document you showed? Did you use the GET API? If not, did you ensure a refresh was performed before retrieving the document? ---

Hi Christian, This response I get when I am making POST call through API , something like POST /test-index/\_doc/920 Currently we need to update the status field in each document . We are making multiple calls to update documents but somehow they are not reflecting in ES although from logs I can see response is successful. I added ?refresh=true but still same. ---

The response says the document was updated. How do you determine it was not? What query do you run? ---

Yes the response say its updated but when I query GET /test-index/\_doc/920 { "from": 0, "size": 400, "query": { "match\_all": {} } The version is updated but the status (field inside document) is old. ---

Can you please provide the exact steps required to recreate this issue, e.g. through Kibana dev tools? This would allow us to test and troubleshoot this against a standard Elasticsearch cluster. AWS Elasticsearch are running a forked version so we need to reproduce this on standard Elasticsearch in order to be able to help. ---

Sure . Currently we have records in Dynamodb which we are streaming into ElasticSearch through Lambda . Any new or modified records in db triggers lambda which makes POST call to Elastic Search . Below is the snippet for Post Request - ``` request.path = path.join('/',esDomain.index,esDomain.doctype,id); request.body = JSON.stringify(doc); request.headers['Content-Length'] = Buffer.byteLength(request.body); request.method = 'POST'; request.path = path.join('/',esDomain.index,esDomain.doctype,id+'?refresh=true'); console.log("API call",request.path) request.body = JSON.stringify(doc); request.headers['Content-Length'] = Buffer.byteLength(request.body); const send = new AWS.HttpClient(); setTimeout(function () { send.handleRequest(request, null, function(httpResp) { var respBody = ''; httpResp.on('data', function (chunk) { respBody += chunk; }); httpResp.on('end', function (chunk) { console.log('Response: ' + respBody); context.succeed('Lambda added document ' + doc); }); }, function(err) { console.log('Error: ' + err); context.fail('Lambda failed with error ' + err); });},3000) ``` } I tried adding timeout as well so that when record is updated, version shouldn't conflict but no luck. ---

Also I tested through Kibana Dev Tools too but i see the same record. ---

Can you please provide an example we can run through Kibana dev console that replicates the issue? ---

The below query when I executed on Kibana dev tools - GET /test-index/\_doc/920 { "from": 0, "size": 400, "query": { "match\_all": {} } I got below response - { "\_index" : "test-index", "\_type" : "\_doc", "\_id" : "920", "\_version" : 4, "\_seq\_no" : 206, "\_primary\_term" : 1, "found" : true, "\_source" : { "Status" : "Processing", } } So the version is 4 here but status is still old . As per logs the status should be "Finished" ---

Please show all the steps/requests, e.g. 1. Insert initial document 2. Update document 3. Run refresh 4. Get updated document and check status ---

As mentioned above , I am adding through Post API so this happens through this flow . If i add or update through Dev Tools , it works . Only via Api , document is not getting updated . Creating of new documents works fine. From Kibana Dev Tools , the same works - POST /test-index/\_doc/1?refresh=true { "DataSourceStatus" : "Processing" } POST /test-index/\_doc/1?refresh=true { "DataSourceStatus" : "Processing\_1" } GET /test-index/\_doc/1 gives correct result- { "\_index" : "test-index-000001", "\_type" : "\_doc", "\_id" : "1", "\_version" : 3, "\_seq\_no" : 2, "\_primary\_term" : 1, "found" : true, "\_source" : { "DataSourceStatus" : "Processing\_1" } } ---

Are you sure your update process generates the requests you expect? If you are not able to reproduce it outside your application I would suspect there is something wrong there. ---

Currently I am using the same Post request (POST /test-index/\_doc/1?refresh=true) for both Updating & Creating the record . Will that make any difference. Also we are updating same record multiple time within seconds ---
