Percolator Behaves Differently In Different Indices

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

I have a percolator that is not matching when expected. I attempted
to create a simple example illustrating the problem; however, I could
not replicate. For some reason, only this percolator does not match
when expected. I can't understand why.

I was able to create a gist that shows this percolator not matching
when an identical one does match. http://gist.github.com/1003363

Notice that the gist contains the following steps:

  1. Fetch percolator A (just to show what it is)
  2. Percolate document X against percolators A's index
  3. Percolator A is returned as a match
  4. Fetch percolator B (just to show what it is)
  5. Percolate document X against percolators B's index
  6. Percolator B is NOT returned as a match

Notice that the query for percolator A and percolator B are
identical. Notice also that the document percolated against each is
identical. Why would these behave differently?

Which version are you using?

0.16. An interesting thing is that it seems to be working in
production. The problem is only seen on my dev machine. Something
corrupted?

Which 0.16? There were fixes in this area up to 0.16.2.

0.16.0.

I will upgrade to 0.16.2 and see if that cures it. Thanks.
