    Strict schema enforcement rejects partial documents

    Agent import batches fail when any document has a missing field. Single bad document can cause entire batch rejection depending on import mode.

    Agent impact: Agent import batches fail when any document has a missing field. Single bad document can cause entire batch rejection depending on import mode.

    Workaround: Use dirty_values: "coerce_or_drop" in import params. Define non-critical fields as optional in schema. Validate documents before import.

    Node failover requires client-side configuration

    Agent loses search capability when primary node goes down, even if cluster is healthy. No automatic reconnection to healthy nodes.

    Agent impact: Agent loses search capability when primary node goes down, even if cluster is healthy. No automatic reconnection to healthy nodes.

    Workaround: Configure all cluster nodes in client initialization. Use nearest-node option for latency optimization. Implement health check pings to detect node failures.
