Hello, I am writing an app that makes heavy use of percolators (the es 1.0 variety). I've found that sometimes I get hits back from percolate() that don't actually exist anymore. In the paste below I search the logs index for any percolators, but find none, then run an existing document through percolate(). It returns 3 matches: [http://bpaste.net/show/zeRg1kMWgX7e2mbFy3bz/](http://bpaste.net/show/zeRg1kMWgX7e2mbFy3bz/) I was wondering if this was expected in certain conditions? My app does create and delete percolators quite fast. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

This is interesting. Can you try adding a match\_all filter or query to the percolate call and see if that makes any difference? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

I'm sorry, I restarted ES and it stopped happening. I will try and reproduce it and email again if successful.
