Hi, I am facing a prodution issue I want to fix by reindexing data. My Java batch sets the \_id filed for indexed documents. But when launching the batch, no data is written, as if it was not performing overwrites. Is there a specific setting to perfom this ? Thanks.

Hey, can you provide a stripped down sample, of what you are doing, so we can get a more concrete picture of this? --Alex On Tue, Aug 27, 2013 at 5:58 PM, Yann Barraud [yann.barraud@gmail.com](mailto:yann.barraud@gmail.com)wrote: > Hi, > > I am facing a prodution issue I want to fix by reindexing data.
