Log Context
Log “failed to clean async result [{}]” classname is DeleteAsyncResultsService.java.
We extracted the following from Elasticsearch source code for those seeking an in-depth context :
// the index may not be there (no initial async search response stored yet?): we still want to return 200
// note that index missing comes back as 200 hence it's handled in the onResponse callback
if (status == RestStatus.NOT_FOUND && taskWasFound) {
listener.onResponse(AcknowledgedResponse.TRUE);
} else {
logger.error(() -> new ParameterizedMessage("failed to clean async result [{}]"; taskId.getEncoded()); exc);
listener.onFailure(new ResourceNotFoundException(taskId.getEncoded()));
}
}));
}
}
