Hi all! We currently using ES 1.3.7 and we are experiencing some weird behavior. Currently we are using delete by query API, and since in 1.5.0 it became deprecated (we are planning to upgrade) we are trying to use the scroll API and bulk delete queries. The problem occurs when we update some documents and after that execute a scroll API call. After printing the scroll API result, we've noticed that the printed documents (the ones that should have been updated) contain old information. We've tried to force flush on the index, but it appears that the response is returned before the flush has finished. Any idea how we can verify indexing operations currently in progress? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
