Hi, I'm seeing weird behaviours with ids on elasticsearch 1.2.0 (recently upgraded from 1.0.1). A search retrieves my document, showing the correct value for \_id: [terminal] curl 'myServer:9200/global/\_search?q=someField:something {"took":79,"timed\_out":false,"\_shards":{"total":12,"successful":12,"failed":0},"hits":{"total":1,"max\_score":17.715034,"hits":[{"\_index":"global","\_type":"user","\_id":"7a113e4f-44de-3b2b-a3f1-fb881da1b00a",... But a direct lookup on id doesn't: [terminal] curl 'myServer:9200/global/user/7a113e4f-44de-3b2b-a3f1-fb881da1b00a' {"\_index":"global","\_type":"user","\_id":"7a113e4f-44de-3b2b-a3f1-fb881da1b00a","found":false} Any ideas? I'm hoping I won't have to reindex... Kind regards, Luke -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
