Records missing from Elastic Index when running our Talend ETL process

Hi there,
In our application we decided to use elasticsearch create a daily snapshot of some critical application data for visualizations.

The issue we are facing is that we are getting missing records in out etl process - for some reason not all the data we are uploading to elastic gets there.

we have been running tests with various settings and thus far it seems the following settings works best and does not produce missing records
bulk indexing using curl in java code [talend]
refresh interval disabled
Number of Shards: 2
Replicas: 0
5 requests at a time of 300 documents in each request for bulk index (seems to work best)

enabling refresh interval to 30s and setting document count to 100 we would have missign records from elastic index

We wrote a talend job to retried the data from line of business system and user curl inside talend to do bulk inserts of documents to elasticsearch.

can someone shed some light on why we are seeing missing records when chagning the above settings - we do not get any errors though out the process and all the files
are being processed

the highlightes green rows are the only settings that produced no missing records during our test


split rows column is document count in each request for bulk insert
