Hi,

I am trying to index 4 million docs in ES 2.0.2. After the indexing when i look into the stats(/\_nodes/stats) API, i get around 35 minutes as index time. The way I calculated is by calculating the difference of index\_time\_in\_millis before and after crawl. But immediately after the execution of my program( which took 23 minutes), when i verified using cats api (\_cat/indices?v) I could see 4 million docs  
I am having 5 shards and 0 replicas running on a single node.

My question is how is that stats(/\_nodes/stats) api showing 35 minutes but the actual time was around 23 minutes. I am seeing this in ES 2.0 onwards but in ES 1.4 both my program total execution time and ES stats time was same.

Stats Before start of Indexing

indexing: {  
index\_total: 7715578,  
index\_time\_in\_millis: 3634410,  
index\_current: 0,  
delete\_total: 5515022,  
delete\_time\_in\_millis: 794744,  
delete\_current: 0,  
noop\_update\_total: 0,  
is\_throttled: false,  
throttle\_time\_in\_millis: 0

Stats After completion of Indexing

indexing: {  
index\_total: 12116702,  
index\_time\_in\_millis: 5735582,  
index\_current: 0,  
delete\_total: 5515022,  
delete\_time\_in\_millis: 794744,  
delete\_current: 0,  
noop\_update\_total: 0,  
is\_throttled: false,  
throttle\_time\_in\_millis: 0

Indexing Time is (5735582-3634410)/60000 =35.0195 minutes

Stats found when running on ES 1.4.4 same machine as ES2.0.2

After indexing

indexing: {  
index\_total: 4401126,  
index\_time\_in\_millis: 1762773,  
index\_current: 0,  
delete\_total: 2,  
delete\_time\_in\_millis: 5,  
delete\_current: 0,  
noop\_update\_total: 0,  
is\_throttled: false,  
throttle\_time\_in\_millis: 0  
}

Here the program took 29 mins and the index stats showed the same time too...
