Hi all! When im do indexation, my backend app sends 1234 pages (for example). if I call /stats? by curl I will see that 1234 pages have been indexed and 234 pages have been deleted, although they should not be deleted. why can this happen? Всем привет! Когда я делаю индексацию с помощью бэка, он отправляет, например, 1234 страницы на индексацию. Когда вызываю /stats? через curl я вижу, что проиндексировано 1234 страницы, но 234 удалены, хотя не должны быть удалены. Почему так происходит? back: java+Spring Data Elastic ---

Welcome! Mostly because of updates. An update is a delete plus an insert. ---
