We have a messed-up index with documents on shards where they shouldn’t be. Content was indexed, shards were added, then everything was reindexed. So the new document with the same ID was put on a new shard, leaving the previous version on the old shard (where it doesn’t match the hash range).
I’m trying to delete the old document by sending an update with delete-by-id and a shards parameter. It returns success, but the document isn’t deleted. Is the hash range being checked and overriding the shards param somehow? Any ideas on how to make this work? And yes, we won’t do that again. wunder Walter Underwood wun...@wunderwood.org http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog)
