opType create does not seem to create duplicates

Hi,

in the documentationhttp://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/rest_api/index/#Operation_Typeit
states that:

"If the op_type is set to create, and there is already an existing document

with the same type and id within the index, the index will now hold twodocuments with the same id and type."

I do not see this in practice. If I do a _status on the index after creating
two documents with the same id and type it shows something like this:

"docs":{"num_docs":1,"max_doc":2,"deleted_docs":1}

is the ?op_type=create being honoured? or is there some cleanup task?

Thanks,

Paul

The parameter should be op_type, and no optype. Another option is to add
_create, for example: 'localhost:9200/index/type/id/_create'.
