Elastic Search Reindexing failing silently


I am trying semantic search in elastic search following this tutorial.

When I am copying an index documents to another index [reindexing] following this command

POST _reindex?wait_for_completion=false
{
  "source": {
    "index": "collection"
  },
  "dest": {
    "index": "collection-with-embeddings",
    "pipeline": "text-embeddings"
  }
}

Some of the documents are missing in the new index. But I do not know the reason. I am trying to find out the reason.

For context,

PUT _ingest/pipeline/text-embeddings
{
  "description": "Text embedding pipeline",
  "processors": [
    {
      "inference": {
        "model_id": "sentence-transformers__msmarco-minilm-l-12-v3",
        "target_field": "text_embedding",
        "field_map": {
          "text": "text_field"
        }
      }
    }
  ],
  "on_failure": [
    {
      "set": {
        "description": "Index document to 'failed-<index>'",
        "field": "_index",
        "value": "failed-{{{_index}}}"
      }
    },
    {
      "set": {
        "description": "Set error message",
        "field": "ingest.failure",
        "value": "{{_ingest.on_failure_message}}"
      }
    }
  ]
}

This is tasks details

        "throttled_until": "0s",
        "throttled_until_millis": 0,
        "failures": []
    }
}

My data is different, But the Configuration is similar. Around 75% data were not copied.

I am using sentence-transformers__msmarco-minilm-l-12-v3 from elastic search.

Any Help?


Solution

  • You probably don't have enough processing power for the inference processor, and as a result, some documents land in the failed-collection-with-embeddings index with the reason mentioned in the ingest.failure field.

    What you can do is to use smaller batches (specifying a smaller size in source) or use request throttling.
