Inconsistent count() results

N1QL
1

Couchbase 4.5.1:

If I run the following query on travel-sample I expect to get total = 1 but it actually returns total = 187 (all the documents where type = ‘airline’);

SELECT count(*) as total FROM travel-sample where type=‘airline’ AND meta().id = ‘airline_10’

If I delete the secondary indexes that include the airline type:
DROP INDEX travel-sample.def_type
DROP INDEX travel-sample.def_icao

The query works as expected and I get total = 1. Why does the existence of the secondary indexes affect this count?

Can you post the EXPLAIN with the indexes?

You found a issue. Will fix in next release. https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/MB-21958

Workaround :
SELECT count(meta().id) as total FROM travel-sample where type=‘airline’ AND meta().id = ‘airline_10’
