Bulk import worked, but documents have no content

I'm using 4.2.f, and did a typical bulk import.  I had a few thousand files (PDFs) with metadata XML files in the usual manner.  The nodes were successfully created – in record time, I might add – and their metadata imported, but the documents are all of zero size, and had no content.  I then performed my Google-fu to see if anyone had as yet uncovered such an issue, finding no results.

I then checked back an hour or so later, and drilled down into the content store to find the nodes, to see if they had any content, and found that they did.  Looking back in Share, I found that all of these nodes now had content.

Is this normal behaviour?  I've used the bulk importer in the past (for Enterprise 4.1.2 and 4.1.4), but I didn't observe this happening before.  It's not a problem, exactly, but I'm genuinely curious.  Is Alfresco working in the background to line up the content with the nodes?

Yes true some what. Solr syncup happens in the backend so in case of bulk import usually this behavior is observed where you are not able to search uploaded content for some time. Once solr index everything you can see and search all contents properly.
