Hello,

I wrote an application who does the reindexation. It reads from one index  
with scan and scroll and send it to another index. Here I got two things on  
the new index:

1. I have exactly the same size of the documents as the base index
2. I have %50 more size than the base index ( I have the same number of  
shards and replica)

Do you have any idea why I have more size while having the same number of  
documents and is this a problem?

Thank you
