Hello,
I wonder if using an index and constantly removing documents from it leads to problems?
I upsert, daily, around 10 millions of documents so, there is a chance of removing 10 millions of documents. Why I am doing this is, I do not want some documents from old days to be deleted. I keep them unique using a hashed id of course. And document count cant be more than, like 11m at a time.
Thanks
