If these two kind of notifications can be distinguished we could fix this issue by marking the document in the ES instead of removing it. And we also need to capture some extra notifications like restore(suppose it exists) . About data retention policies, I'm not sure if something like ttl to define how long a deleted instance should be stored in searchlight is enough. I know Nova has cli to purge the database about deleted instances, if there are no notification emitted for these operations, it's impossible for searchlight to know when these delete instances are removed.
