I use this take only SourceAsMap

```auto
List<Object> llist = new ArrayList<Object>();
SearchResponse response = client.search(new SearchRequest("test"), RequestOptions.DEFAULT);
for (SearchHit hit : response.getHits()) {
    llist.add(hit.getSourceAsMap());
}

```

In this we can take specific fields under SourceAsMap like "computer\_name and type" like these two instead of showing all?  
Any idea

</div>

`hit.getSourceAsMap().get("computer_name")`?

I'm sorry but I think it's a Java question now and not related to elasticsearch anymore. Am I right?

At the end, what do you want to do?

And? What is failing when you do that? What is the code you are using to do that?

This:

```auto
llist.add(hit.getSourceAsMap().get("computer_name"));
llist.add(hit.getSourceAsMap().get("type"));

```

But I'm still unsure that fits your needs.
