elasticsearch document found false

Question

I am trying to access a document with _id.

I recently dumped an index from remote server to my local server.

Here's how I am trying to get the document:

GET http://localhost:9200/dmap_product_match/dmap_product_match/ZA2JeGsBsz9baORiZSkN

And in response:

{
    "_index": "dmap_product_match",
    "_type": "dmap_product_match",
    "_id": "ZA2JeGsBsz9baORiZSkN",
    "found": false
}

But requesting for the document as a query body returns the document:

GET http://localhost:9200/dmap_product_match/_search

{
    "_source": ["s_item_name","r_item_name","human_verdict"],
    "query": {
        "term":{
            "_id": "ZA2JeGsBsz9baORiZSkN"
        }
    }
}

EDIT: elasticsearch v7.0.0.

Answer 1

ElasticSearch is not finding the document you are asking for because the document type is not well defined in the request.

The api to fetch documents has the following format:

GET http://<host>:<port>/<index>/<type>/<docId>

According to the request you post, you are looking for the document with the id ZA2JeGsBsz9baORiZSkN in the index dmap_product_match and type dmap_product_match.

Your request should be something like:

GET http://localhost:9200/dmap_product_match/_doc/ZA2JeGsBsz9baORiZSkN
