Hi, ``` i can see a doc count in elasticsearch head plugin like *docs: ``` 2999 (4022)\* . what is the meaning of inside brace count and outside count. Thanks for all. -- ---

It is the total # docs for that index across all shards including replicas. Same goes for the byte value.

The first number displays the number of unique documents. The number in braces is how many documents are in all segments of your index. So when you reindex you add the same document again. The unique number stays the same, but additionally you have another, newer, version of the document. When segments are merged (e.g. when you call optimize index) those numbers are equal again.

Is there any way to find the duplicate values? and how elasticsearch identify the duplicate?
