transaction: keeporphans error after 4.3 upgrade?

This search works without issue in 4.2.4:

sourcetype="teledebug" | transaction keeporphans=1 host source startswith=ANI endswith=onhook

In 4.3 it appears to work, but it returns an error in red atop the results:

[splunk1] Streamed search execute failed because: Error in 'transam' command: Invalid argument: 'keeporphans=1'

Anyone else? Known bug?

EDIT: the error is coming from one of my 4.2.3 indexers. Weird. Any ideas? I'll upgrade asap and report back if it fixes the problem.

Keeporphans was introduced in version 4.2.4 so 4.2.3 indexers trying to run that search will fallover I am afraid, I think it is keepevicted or something similar.

Multiple failures here. I didn't even realize I had a 4.2.3 indexer still. And then failed to read the error message correctly. Doh! Thanks.
