Hi , Ideally the enitre set of deleted documents can would be only removed when you execute a full merge into 1 segment. But then this eats lots of time if you have a large index.
$ curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:9200/twitter/_optimize?max_num_segments=1' On using only_expunge_deletes , you are suggesting ES to prioritize those segments which have higher number of deleted documents while merging. But then if the merge policy feels it doesnt need to merge any more document , it wont perform it.
