Number of documents - how to read and what to do

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi everyone,

I was looking at my indices and I noticed something not looking good:

As you can see, the "catalog_v2" index has:

docs: {
num_docs: 7954439
max_doc: 10914846
deleted_docs: 2960407
}

Is this bad? I do not know from where all those "deleted_docs" came from, I
do not perform a lot of DELETE.
Doc say it is the number of docs not yet merged out and that's affected by
refreshing the index - I've done it, my numbers do not move.

So, my question is just about those numbers, how to interpret them?

Have a nice day!
Damien

As far as I remember, it's the number of index operations.
If you update a document, number of docs will remain the same but number in parenthesis should grow.
