Hello, I have setup a test env with couchdb and Elastricsearch seeing if we can use it in place of couchdb-lucene. But I am seeing a major problem. After a few days of running in my VM suddenly Elastricsearch stopped seeing changes from couchdb, seeing nothing in the log i restarted Elastricsearch and suddenly it started to get new documents getting inserted but all the doc inserted prior to that did not get index at all. Checking the changes on couchdb with the seq id in Elastricsearch shows no changes and it is the current according to couchdb. My question is how can I get the old documents that Elastricsearch did not index in to be reindexed easily. A follow up to that is in productions lets say the connections from my couchdb to Elastricsearch goes down but docs are still getting inserted in to couchdb and then after x time the link goes back up, should all the information added to couchdb be index by Elastricsearch or will I have the problem I see above? Thanks Zuhaib ---

I think you are hitting the same issue as here: [Rediriger vers Google Groupes](https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=fr&fromgroups&nomobile=true#!msg/elasticsearch/WWNIATEqWho/ZZzwL8v77xYJ) ## David Le 5 août 2012 à 04:01, zuhaib [zsiddique@atlassian.com](mailto:zsiddique@atlassian.com) a écrit : > Hello, > > I have setup a test env with couchdb and Elastricsearch seeing if we can use it in place of couchdb-lucene.

That seems close but not the same, in that case it seems the River plugin would actually crash. In my case the couchdb river is still running but it seems new data does not get pulled in if ES was down or the link was cut.
