Hi Everyone,  
I have upgraded my ES from 0.17.9 to 0.19.10, and I have indexed a given  
amount of data with both versions. In 0.19.10 the indexes are  
bigger....1.5 the size of 0.17.9. Any explanation?  
Thank you very much!  
Catalin

Hi,

Both have identical mappings? And both are optimized? May be best to  
optimize them both to make comparison fair.

There shouldn't be a difference between the two. Can you gist your mappings?
