Slow covering query performance

I am trying out couchbase 4.5 with just about 200,000 records. I did a covering index that should properly cover the query that i am running however i am getting extremely slow response. I tried 4.5 on centos and on windows and i am getting the same response speeds of over a min at times. there are even times when it says index scan timeout. Note that i have a second covering index for a different document type which works fine.
this is the index CREATE INDEX card_cover ON tis_card_batch(type, deleted, age, date_of_entry, batch) WHERE type=“card”;
this is the query SELECT meta().id AS id,deleted,type FROM tis_card_batch WHERE type=‘card’ AND batch=‘batch-79fb307c-7546-4d07-8726-8ce06891f16c’ AND (deleted = false OR deleted IS MISSING); and this is my query execution plan when i use EXPLAIN with my query

}

I have been trying to get past this issue for several weeks now so any advise will be appreciated.

Hi @chaddy012,

Change index definition to

CREATE INDEX card_cover ON tis_card_batch(batch, deleted) WHERE type=“card”;
