Hi

So I start a local cluster and place and index in it. The settings are

ImmutableSettings.Builder builder = ImmutableSettings.settingsBuilder()  
.put("node.name", "node-test-" + System.currentTimeMillis())  
.put("node.data", true)  
.put("cluster.name", "cluster-test-" +  
NetworkUtils.getLocalAddress().getHostName())  
.put("index.store.type", "memory")  
.put("index.store.fs.memory.enabled", "true")  
.put("gateway.type", "none")  
.put("path.data", "./target/elasticsearch-test/data")  
.put("path.work", "./target/elasticsearch-test/work")  
.put("path.logs", "./target/elasticsearch-test/logs")  
.put("index.number\_of\_shards", "1")  
.put("index.number\_of\_replicas", "0")  
.put("cluster.routing.schedule", "50ms")  
.put("node.local", true);

So in the test after placing the index I do a search query like this

SearchResponse response = client.prepareSearch(INSTRUMENTS\_INDEX)  
.setTypes(INSTRUMENT\_TYPE)  
.setSearchType(SearchType.DFS\_QUERY\_THEN\_FETCH)

.setQuery(QueryBuilders.queryString(instrumentQuery.getQuery()))  
.execute()  
.actionGet();

WHere the query is really pointing to the index I created.

So the problem is that if i run this like this

1. Create index
2. Execute query

I get 0 results back BUT if I run it like this

1. Create Index
2. Thread.sleep(1000)
3. Execute query

I get 1 result back.

So of cause this has to have something to do with the files being taken  
away between running each test bacus eif I keep them around it works  
without the sleep. Is there some sort of synchronization  
or transaction status I need to check after creating the index to be  
guaranteed it is in the storage BEFORE executing the query ?

Thanks

Magnus

There is a near-realtime aspect to ES. What this means is by default,  
documents are searchable within 1 second (refresh interval) after they are  
indexed. You may index a document and explicitly refresh it immediately in  
which case, you can search for it immediately. For example:

client.prepareIndex("index", "type1").setSource(doc).setId("1").  
_setRefresh(true)_.execute().actionGet();
