Hi,  
I have configured 2 no of shards in separate servers , sometimes we  
can see the records visible only half the counts from the total  
records from the shards .  
Since i haven't configured any replica, but gateway is available for  
this scenario.  
Please let me know whats the reason behind this?  
(Note: Version is 14.3)
