ElasticSearch - Invalid NEST response built from a successful (200) low level call on POST

After upgrading our ElasticSearch cluster, I restarted our batch processing service. This service gets a data offload every night from an external party and we'll use this data to build up our search index.

The BulkAllObservable helper

As a lot of documents should be indexed, I use the BulkAllObservable helper to optimize the process. This helper is part of the ElasticSearch.NET client and takes care of all the complex retry, backoff or chunking logic. It gives you full control on how the underlying BulkApi should be called.

This code worked perfectly before. Unfortunately after upgrading to Elastic 8.3, that was no longer the case.

Enable compatibility mode

I saw the following error message in the logs:

BulkAll halted after receiving failures that can not be retried from _bulk   at Nest.BulkAllObservable`1.HandleDroppedDocuments(List`1 droppedDocuments, BulkResponse response)  at Nest.BulkAllObservable`1.<BulkAsync>d__20.MoveNext()
--- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown
---   at System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw()   at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task)  at Nest.Extensions.<ProcessAsync>d__30`2.MoveNext()

---  at System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw()

I enabled DebugMode:

And saw the following lower level error message:

Invalid NEST response built from a successful (200) low level call on POST

This brought me to the following Github issue: https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-net/issues/6154

To fix the issue, I had to update the latest 7.x ElasticSearch.NET client (The 8.x client was still in beta when I wrote this post) and enable the compability mode by calling .EnableApiVersioningHeader();

Podman– Command execution failed with exit code 125

After updating WSL on one of the developer machines, Podman failed to work. When we took a look through Podman Desktop, we noticed that Podman had stopped running and returned the following error message: Error: Command execution failed with exit code 125 Here are the steps we tried to fix the issue: We started by running podman info to get some extra details on what could be wrong: >podman info OS: windows/amd64 provider: wsl version: 5.3.1 Cannot connect to Podman. Please verify your connection to the Linux system using `podman system connection list`, or try `podman machine init` and `podman machine start` to manage a new Linux VM Error: unable to connect to Podman socket: failed to connect: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:2655: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. That makes sense as the podman VM was not running. Let’s check the VM: >podman machine list NAME         ...

Cleaner switch expressions with pattern matching in C#

Ever find yourself mapping multiple string values to the same result? Being a C# developer for a long time, I sometimes forget that the C# has evolved so I still dare to chain case labels or reach for a dictionary. Of course with pattern matching this is no longer necessary. With pattern matching, you can express things inline, declaratively, and with zero repetition. A small example I was working on a small script that should invoke different actions depending on the environment. As our developers were using different variations for the same environment e.g.  "tst" alongside "test" , "prd" alongside "prod" .  We asked to streamline this a long time ago, but as these things happen, we still see variations in the wild. This brought me to the following code that is a perfect example for pattern matching: The or keyword here is a logical pattern combinator , not a boolean operator. It matches if either of the specified pattern...
