Hey, just wondering. is there a situation where TTL is not respected by ES? I did switch to 19.2, but I noticed in my 18.6 index, documents stopped expiring at some point. I was providing the \_ttl in the source document, which per the docs should be working (and it definitely used to work). My insertions are all using the \_bulk api, if that helps. thanks! ---

Hey oren, I have just tested the TTL feature using \_bulk api with ES 0.19.2 and it worked fine for me. Can you gist a simple recreation of the bug?

Hey Benjamin. We've fixed the issue. there was a corner case where the TTL did not get set correctly. cheers!
