I ran into an issue where the index doesn't behave consistently. One index works with field of multiple type and the other one doesn't. Sometime the one that works also has an issue and without any code change, it would only index some documents and not the other. Then when I reindex the whole index the 3rd time, then it works. Something is off here and I can't quite figure out what's going on.
