Different Count for Events over a specified 15 min period

I am trying to get a understanding why I get a different count total for the number of events for the following searches

1. index=some_specific_index  (Returns the following  total for events 7,601,134)

2. | tstats count where index=some_specific_index (Returns 7,593,248)

 

I do have the same date and time range sent when I run the query.

I understand why tstats and stats have different values.

In a general case, both

index=whatever | stats count

and

| tstats count where index=whatever

run over a static period of time in the past should give you the same result.

If there is a difference it might mean that you're still ingesting data into that period of time so subsequent runs of either of those commands will yield different results.

But if you have a repeatable two different static values of those searches it might signal bucket corruption.
