I went through several questions with the same "document_missing_exception" problem but looks like they aren't the same problem in my case. I can query the document, but failed when I tried to updated it. My query:
# search AuthEvent by sessionID
GET events-*/_search
{
"size": "100",
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": [{
"term": {
"type": {
"value": "AuthEvent"
}
}
},
{
"term": {
"client.sessionID.raw": {
"value": "067d660a1504Y67FOuiiRIEkVNG8uYIlnK87liuZGLBcSmEW0aHoDXAHfu"
}
}
}
]
}
}
}
Query result:
{
"took" : 18,
"timed_out" : false,
"_shards" : {
"total" : 76,
"successful" : 76,
"skipped" : 0,
"failed" : 0
},
"hits" : {
"total" : 1,
"max_score" : 6.705622,
"hits" : [
{
"_index" : "events-2020.10.06",
"_type" : "doc",
"_id" : "2c675295b27a225ce243d2f13701b14222074eaf",
"_score" : 6.705622,
"_routing" : "067d660a1504Y67FOuiiRIEkVNG8uYIlnK87liuZGLBcSmEW0aHoDXAHfu",
"_source" : {
# some data
}
}
]
}
}
Update request:
POST events-2020.10.06/_doc/2c675295b27a225ce243d2f13701b14222074eaf/_update
{
"doc" : {
"custom" : {
"testField" : "testData"
}
}
}
And update result:
{
"error" : {
"root_cause" : [
{
"type" : "document_missing_exception",
"reason" : "[_doc][2c675295b27a225ce243d2f13701b14222074eaf]: document missing",
"index_uuid" : "5zhQy6W6RnWscDz7Av4_bA",
"shard" : "1",
"index" : "events-2020.10.06"
}
],
"type" : "document_missing_exception",
"reason" : "[_doc][2c675295b27a225ce243d2f13701b14222074eaf]: document missing",
"index_uuid" : "5zhQy6W6RnWscDz7Av4_bA",
"shard" : "1",
"index" : "events-2020.10.06"
},
"status" : 404
}
I'm quite new to ElasticSearch and couldn't find any reason for such behaviour. I use ElasticSearch 6.7.1 oss version + Kibana for operating with data. I also tried with bulk update but ended with same error.

As you can see in the query results, your document has been indexed with a routing value and you're missing it in your update request.
Try this instead:
POST events-2020.10.06/_doc/2c675295b27a225ce243d2f13701b14222074eaf/_update?routing=067d660a1504Y67FOuiiRIEkVNG8uYIlnK87liuZGLBcSmEW0aHoDXAHfu
{
"doc" : {
"custom" : {
"testField" : "testData"
}
}
}
If a document is indexed with a routing value, all subsequent get, update and delete operations need to happen with that routing value as well.
