We are using Elasticsearch 6.8. Our logs show that very _very_ rarely, we get a responses from multi-get where the "found" field is missing, but the expected documents are otherwise intact.

Is this ever expected to happen? Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks in advance if you have any insights.

Welcome to our community! 😃

Can you show us some examples of these responses?

Unfortunately we don't log the responses at this stage. We'll add in logging and I will update this thread if/when this crops up again.

For now, all I can add is that the request looked like this:

```auto
/_mget?_source_includes=sources.id%2Centity_id%2Cnum_contributions%2Csources.name

```

and the response was 200.
