Hello,
Thank you for your answers.
I've upgraded the slave database to 14.2 and after rebuilding the primary key concurrently, sadly but I have missing documents again.
The missing documents are created in the master within the time interval while reindex is taking place in the slave, the table is big and it takes around an hour to be rebuilt.
The same documents are visible in the table through other indexes:
For example the query:
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE id = 5 and user_id = 1
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE id + 0 = 5 and user_id = 1
returns only one row(it must return 2):
the first query uses the primary key and does not find anything
the second query uses the index by user_id and finds the document with id=5
Tom, fixes in 13.5 and 13.6 are included in 14.2, aren't they? In my opinion, the problem is in the slave host, which is running 14, not in the master.
Thank you in advance!
Regards,
Stefan

13.6 might do as well, and would be a lot closer to a drop-in upgrade.
The 13.5 and 13.6 release notes both mention problems with REINDEX
CONCURRENTLY. Given the existence of those fixed bugs, nobody is
likely to look too closely at this report unless you can still reproduce
it on a current minor release.
