Hi, This is my first post here, so first thanks a lot for the wonderfull framework. I'm using java api and I'm wondering if the setRefresh( true ) method on a BulkRequestBuilder should lead for wainting for all the bulk's operation to be searchable (as I would expect as this is the behaviour with an IndexRequestBuilder). In fact, in the following code, it doesn't, but as I'm very new to es, maybe I'm doing something wrong : BulkRequestBuilder bulk = this.client.prepareBulk() ; bulk.setRefresh( true ) ; bulk.add( this.client.prepareIndex() .setRefresh( true ) .setIndex( "index1") .setType( "doc" ) .setId( "1" ) .setSource( "{"name":"toto"}" ) ) ; bulk.add( this.client.prepareIndex() .setRefresh( true ) .setIndex( "index1") .setType( "doc" ) .setId( "2" ) .setSource( "{"name":"titi"}" ) ) ; BulkResponse response = bulk.execute().actionGet(); GetResponse get = this.client.prepareGet() .setIndex( "index1" ) .setType( "doc" ) .setId( "1" ).execute().actionGet(); assertTrue( get.exists() ) ; // which fails Thanks for any help Nel ---

I fixed a bug that the refresh flag was not being taken into account in master (upcoming 0.15 version). I think you hit it 🙂 On Wednesday, January 26, 2011 at 11:47 AM, nel.taurisson wrote: > Hi, > > This is my first post here, so first thanks a lot for the wonderfull > framework. > > I'm using java api and I'm wondering if the setRefresh( true ) method > on a BulkRequestBuilder should lead for wainting for all the bulk's > operation to be searchable (as I would expect as this is the behaviour > with an IndexRequestBuilder).

Is it fixed in 1.7.1? With `"refresh_interval": "-1"`, I'm continuously bulking with `.refresh(true)` on an entire bulk and I'm not seeing up to date counts on my index. After finishing all my bulks I manually send `_refresh` request and only then I see the valid hits count. ---
