I am running a elastic search query which is attached via image with this topic, It's giving me too\_many\_clauses error, My question is would I have to increase the limit for maxClauseCount or am I doing anything wrong in query which can be improved ? ![screenshot--2018-01-11-11-59-39](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/e/feb2d14b06c3535f5c7d5b28b0eef2b3c3d1c93b.png) ---

Elasticsearch can at a time process only 1024 clauses. Each element in the terms array corresponds to 1 clause. Either you may increase the max clause count parameter in the elasticsearch.yml or you make sure that the length of the terms array doesn't exceed 1024. ---
