On a similar note: is writing a new version of the \_meta doc supposed to restart the river? (I've found that it doesn't: I need to DELETE the \_meta doc, then write a new \_meta doc (or restart the ES node)... which is find by me. I just wondered if writing a new \_meta doc was supposed to be enough to do a river restart...?) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
