mongoosastic index data not getting deleted after removing document

Question

Currently i am using mongoose Model.remove method to remove a document. But after removing document mongoosastic index still contains deleted document index.

User.remove({_id:userId}, function(err) {    
   if (err) {       
      res.json({success:false});    
   }
   else {
      res.json({success:true}) 
   } 
});

Answer 1

This is caused because mongoose calls the delete index hook only when you do a user.remove() instead of User.remove({_id: userId}), for that reason mongoosastic could not delete this document.

You can see that in mongoostatic docs about removing documents:
