@amrishlal Partial and approximation are different, where approximation usually gives bounded error rate. The cases we want to notify the user here is when some segments are not available (e.g. all replica down), or some servers fail to respond (e.g. timeout). We will still return the response, but put some message in the query response so that user knows the result is not complete. I don't see how this kind of problem is different from exceptions though. If some segments throw exception on a given query, we can also treat it as partial because it is essentially the same as all replicas down for these segments. User can choose to ignore the exceptions and use whatever returned in the response. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
