Finding the DELTED document ?!

Ivan_Ji · August 27, 2014, 8:54am

Hi all,

I am facing a problem: I can find the deleted document right after I
deleted it.

But when I wait for seconds, the deleted document is just gone and I cannot
find the document by using the same command.

In face, I knew there is something similar when post a new document, you
need to wait a while to be able to find it. I think it's acceptable for me.
But about this case, anyone has ideas?

Here is the reproducible gist:

gist.github.com

https://gist.github.com/hxuanji/89813ffe0979f12dba66

test.sh

echo -e "delete index..."
curl -XDELETE "http://localhost:9200/test"
echo -e "\ncreate index..."
curl -XPUT "http://localhost:9200/test" -d '
{
    "settings": {
        "index": {
            "number_of_shards": 5,
            "number_of_replicas": 0
        }

This file has been truncated. show original

In the gist, after I deleted the document, I try to XHEAD the document, I
received 404 which means it had been deleted. So far so good.

But next I try to query it, I actually can find the deleted document. Here
is the problem. And then I sleep 2 sec, query the same search command
again, the deleted document is just gone.

Any suggestions of this situation ?

Best,

Ivan

Hi Ivan,

Your observations are due to the fact that the GET API is a realtime API
while the search API is only near-realtime. This means that new documents,
document updates and document deletions can take some time (around 1 second
by default) before they are visible.
