What's the expected behaviour when a document is updated and deleted in the same bulk request?

Hi @js_herbert

I think these are 2 good references as well

Elastic search bulk request API - Is the 'order' of document writing guaranteed

Thanks for the clarification.

And from the main Lucene Committer himself

Order of _bulk request operations

You can rely on the fact that operations on the same document (same _index, _type and _id) will be in order. However you can't assume anything for documents that have different indices/types/ids.

A subtlely is that even for the gaurunteed order on the same (same _index, _type and _id) if one early operation fails you still may not get the expected result.
