Hi Team

Am trying to fetch data from elastic server into spark 2.4 environment using "org.elasticsearch.spark.sql" connector, but even though i got all the configs right, there is no data received on the spark engine

Using the below config to connect to Elastic from spark

![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/0/a0a97712ad38acd338bb092295feb70819410015.png)

On analyzing with fiddler found that the request created had a search\_type=scan param in the query string, which i guess is no longer supported

[http://NodeURL/index/type/\_search](http://NodeURL/index/type/_search)? **search\_type=scan** &scroll=5m&size=50&preference=\_shards%3A3%3B\_local

On opening this on the browser didn't receive any data, but the same query without the search\_type param worked as expected.

Am wondering when the above param is no longer supported, why is it being appended in the request url by the elasticsearch-spark connector

Can someone please help me figure out a proper solution

Spark - 2.4.0  
scala - 2.11  
elasticsearch-spark-20\_2.11 (6.6.0)

Thanks  
John
