Hi all, I am using the java api for elasticsearch and was unable to find how to check the status of my index response. If I create a percolator using the following query client.prepareIndex("\_percolator", indexName, percolatorName) .setSource(\)) .setRefresh(true).execute().actionGet() I get an index response. However I was unable to find a variable/method in the same class returning the status of the operation, ie whether it was successful or failed. I do get some data like id, version. Does a failure not return id, version fields etc ?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey, if the index response is returned (and therefore no exception has been thrown), the index operation was successful. --Alex On Thu, Jul 4, 2013 at 3:30 PM, Manoj Mohan [manoj@intelligrape.com](mailto:manoj@intelligrape.com) wrote: > Hi all, > > I am using the java api for elasticsearch and was unable to find how to > check the status of my index response.

Would the same be true for a SearchResponse? I am asking that because I see a status method there that gives me a rest status.

Hey, a search response is a bit different than a IndexResponse. A index response simply returns that it has worked, but a SearchResponse can have more than one status. For example individual shards can fail, but this still is a valid search response (but yields a different HTTP response code for example). Hope this helps, if you need further information, just ask. --Alex On Thu, Jul 4, 2013 at 4:20 PM, Manoj Mohan [manoj@intelligrape.com](mailto:manoj@intelligrape.com) wrote: > Would the same be true for a SearchResponse?

The question is what you want to see to succeed or fail. In the index request, you can specify a write consistency level (one, quorum, all), and a replication type (sync, async). Normally you see an async index response after the index request has been dispatched to the participating nodes and a quorum of nodes responded. This is before the document persists across all participating nodes. But you can change the setting in the write consistency level. Jörg Am 04.07.13 16:15, schrieb Manoj Mohan: > Hmm.. thanks ..
