Hello,
As far as I've tested, the "includes" and "excludes" options for the \_source
field [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/mapping/source-field/](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/mapping/source-field/)have
no effect - I always get the whole source. Here's a gist for
recreating:
>
Did I do something wrong on my tests? If yes, how is it supposed to work?
Any pointers will be appreciated. I'm on 64-bit Ubuntu and I've used the
.deb packages of 0.19.7 and 0.90.0RC1 with the same results.
## Thanks and best regards, Radu

Hmm - it doesn't work for get-by-id. It works for search though.
Flushing the index helped, so it looks like its a translog thing
please open an issue
