Hi, I'm testing with a single index with replication and auto mapping creation turned off. Strangely, I'm getting different no. of results for a single query without any new insertions. I'm not able to reproduce this consistently and this problem comes once or twice a week. Any ideas what might be wrong?

Hey, what do you mean with "results for single query without new insertions" exactly? You were talking about one index, but not about one shard, or? (Always correct me, I am simply assuming stuff which is not mentioned). So is it possible, that your query results differ, when you are inserting the same data and then try the query? If this is the issue, you could test either, if this problems happens, when all your data is in one shard only as well or take a look at the dfs\_query\_and\_fetch search type option, see > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI.

If the both options above do not solve your problem, can you provide any more information? Kind of queries, etc? --Alex On Wed, Jun 12, 2013 at 6:32 PM, anand nalya [anand.nalya@gmail.com](mailto:anand.nalya@gmail.com) wrote: > Hi, > > I'm testing with a single index with replication and auto mapping creation > turned off.
