Hello guys,

I have ES v2.4.4 installed and try to execute the following statement in R

> elastic::Search(es\_idx, scroll = "3m", search\_type = "scan")

And i get the following error

> Error: 500 - all shards failed  
> ES stack trace:
> 
> type: exception  
> reason: Scroll must be provided when scanning...

I don't understand why!?
