Version is always -1

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

According to the docs version should auto increment when versionType is set
to INTERNAL (which is default and the value I have).

My observed behavior is that the version is always -1.

How about a gist demonstrating this.

Hey, can you try and actually ask for the version field in the search request (i.e. addField("version").addField("_source"))? If you don't ask for it its not returned by default.

Regarding the comments you have, yes, explain is expensive to ask for, and try and not use the DFS_… search type if you don't really need it.

Thanks Shay!

Is there a good resource for understanding the differences between
termQuery, fieldQuery, match, etc?

Would you recommend that I stick with the Default QUERY_THEN_FETCH?

Yea, stick with QUERY_THEN_FETCH.

Regarding the queries, effectively, you actually care about mostly two queries:

  1. query_string: if you want to support the lucene query parser syntax
  2. match: for everything else. It does the right thing depending on the field index mapping, analysis, and type (like numerics).

I actually got around to trying this and it still prints out -1 for version

SearchResponse results = client.prepareSearch(index)

.setQuery(QueryBuilders.fieldQuery("MyKey", "MyValue"))

     .addField("version").addField("_source")

     .execute()

     .actionGet();

System.err.println(results.getHits().getHits()[0].getVersion());
