the response of the msearch result, sometimes have too many shard failed.
the number of replica is 0.
the failed example shows below (with response json filter):
{
"\_shards" : {
"failed" : 69
},
"aggregations" : {
"timeseries" : {
"buckets" : [ {
"key\_as\_string" : "2014-06-01",
"sum\_quantity" : {
"value" : 7.0
}
}, {
"key\_as\_string" : "2014-06-02",
"sum\_quantity" : {
"value" : 1.0
}
}, {
"key\_as\_string" : "2014-06-03",
"sum\_quantity" : {
"value" : 3.0
}
}]
}}
also, some result is empty (like {})
why so many failed and empty? how to fix this?
thank you very much.
