Hi
I have an index in ES , with 5 shards , 0 replicas and , indexing some data
with Parent child relationship. The size of the index is 1.1 GB.
I am setting child document's id, parent , and routing value , as the
parent's ID , and parent's routing value also the same (to enable , that
both the documents go to the same shard) .
When i go and delete the child mapping , data is expected to be deleted,
which is reflected by the REST API (_Stats/_status). (shows 957 mb )
But upon checking manually , the disk space was not getting freed up .
So, i tried optimization . Although the optimization operation response was
successful, the disk space didn't get free.
By reffering to this link ;-
http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/When-does-ES-free-up-disk-space-td2601270.html
i tried using the curl command -
curl -XPOST '192.168.145.117:9200/_optimize?only_expunge_deletes=true'
Although the command was run successfully , but , the response was
{"ok":true,"_shards":{"total":5,"successful":4,"failed":0}}
1 shard not either successful, nor failed.
I checked the stats/status API, the size it refleced was reduced , but disk
size was still the same.
Also , it reflected the same number of shards (successful = 4) .
After deletion when ES shows 4 successful shards , the size of the 5th
shard is (1.1 GB -957 MB).
Physically , all the 5 shards are present in the data directory. Upon
restarting the ES instance , it again shows( Stats/Status API) , 5
successful shards , and the data size is again back to 1.1 GB.
I am using elasticsearch-0.90.0.RC2 .
Please help me .Where am i going wrong ?
