identity automatic lookup does not work

Hi !

I am facing an issue adding a new field in the ES identity kv store. After adding a new field automatic lookup doesn't work and never returns my new field in my events, but I can manually retrieve it with this query :

 

 

 

| inputlookup ES_identity_kvstore

 

 

 

while that one :

 

 

 

index=my_index | lookup ES_identity_kvstore... 

 

 

 

throws me an error :

 

 

 

[comma separated list of my indexers] phase_0 - Streamed search execute failed because: Error in 'lookup' command: Cannot find the destination field 'my_new_field' in the lookup table 'ES_identity_kvstore'..

 

 

 

still, with this following query forcing the SH to run the lookup I can retrieve my new field :

 

 

 

index=my_index | lookup local=true ES_identity_kvstore... 

 

 

 

collections.conf (with replicate=true) and props.conf are correctly updated on the SH so I think I am maybe missing something on my indexers configuration but can not figure out what it is... 

Do you have any idea ?

Thanks !
