Is it something you can easily recreate? Can you post your mappings definition for "default"?

It is easy to re-create, we don't run into this problem when indexing to a single index. This seems to happen if several indices are being created in a burst.

Can you post a sample curl indexing that recreates it? I assume that just starting two nodes, with the below configuration and indexing a doc causes that?

I did not manage to recreate it, but I think I found where it might happen. Pushed a fix: [dynamic templates might cause elasticsearch to keep resync mappings · Issue #1257 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/1257)(its on 0.17 branch as well). Can you check it if helps? On Thu, Aug 18, 2011 at 7:56 PM, Shay Banon [kimchy@gmail.com](mailto:kimchy@gmail.com) wrote: > Can you post a sample curl indexing that recreates it?

We have been testing with the patch for this and cannot reproduce the problem. More testing to follow, will keep you posted.
