Worked … Looks like the FTS index snakeFull was hung at 11.5% completed for days so N1QL was not able to find the FTS index… Dropped the snakeFull index recreated to 100% …Works.
If Index is not 100% built, it is not consider (i.e. as of index not exist) online/ready to use (because it result in wrong results). N1QL is query and can’t return wrong results, so it validate the index with query. If validation fails it will not use that index.
It will try to use GSI index or other indexes. As none of them present it gives the error saying index is not present.
