I'm inserting documents into elasticsearch and trying to sort on a given field that's present in all documents. However, whenever I update a document, indexing seems to break and I do not get a sorted order. I have created an index by doing:
self.conn = ES(server=url)
self.conn.create_index("test.test")
For instance, I would like to sort on a "_ts" field. Given the following dictionaries and code:
def update_or_insert(doc):
doc_type = "string"
index = doc['ns']
doc['_id'] = str(doc['_id'])
doc_id = doc['_id']
self.conn.index(doc, index, doc_type, doc_id)
to_insert = [
{'_id': '4', 'name': 'John', '_ts': 3, 'ns':'test.test'},
{'_id': '5', 'name': 'Paul', '_ts': 2', ns':'test.test'},
{'_id': '6', 'name': 'George', '_ts': 1', ns':'test.test'},
{'_id': '6', 'name': 'Ringo', '_ts': 4, 'ns':'test.test'} ,
]
for x in to_insert:
update_or_insert(x)
result = self.conn.search(q, sort={'_ts:desc'})
for it in result:
print it
I would expect to get an ordering of "Ringo, John, Paul" but instead get an ordering of "John, Paul, Ringo". Any reason why this might be the case? I see there's a bug here: https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/3078 But that seems to affect ES .90.0 and I'm using .90.1.
