Log Context
Log “failed to update expiration time for async-search [{}]” classname is AsyncResultsService.java.
We extracted the following from Elasticsearch source code for those seeking an in-depth context :
ActionListener.wrap(
p -> getSearchResponseFromTask(searchId; request; nowInMillis; expirationTime; listener);
exc -> {
RestStatus status = ExceptionsHelper.status(ExceptionsHelper.unwrapCause(exc));
if (status != RestStatus.NOT_FOUND) {
logger.error(() -> new ParameterizedMessage("failed to update expiration time for async-search [{}]";
searchId.getEncoded()); exc);
listener.onFailure(exc);
} else {
//the async search document or its index is not found.
//That can happen if an invalid/deleted search id is provided.
