Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi Team,

I am using java api to get the search response,

SearchResponse response = client.prepareSearch(index).setTypes(indextype).setSize(7878151).execute().actionGet();

Am getting the following Exception:

Exception in thread "main" org.elasticsearch.common.util.concurrent.UncategorizedExecutionException: Failed execution
at org.elasticsearch.action.support.AdapterActionFuture.rethrowExecutionException(AdapterActionFuture.java:90)
at org.elasticsearch.action.support.AdapterActionFuture.actionGet(AdapterActionFuture.java:50)
at com.alliance.cachetest.TestMain.getData(TestMain.java:58)
at com.alliance.cachetest.TestMain.main(TestMain.java:30)
Caused by: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsExceptionI am trying to do this SearchResponse response = client.prepareSearch(index).setTypes(indextype).setSize(7878151).execute().actionGet();

Can anyone guide me to solve this issue, is this because if huge data or anything else????

Don't do that!

Actually it's now forbidden in 2.1.

Hello David,

Thanks for response, now what I can do for this to resolve, what changes I need to make in API, can you provide me any example on this????

It depends on the use case.

  • If you want to extract a lot of data, just use Scan & Scroll
  • If you want to display results to your users, I think they can't really read more than 50 results on a single page. So use pagination. After some pages I guess that user will find lesser relevant documents so deep pagination does not make sense.

HTH

Thanks David,
Its working with Scan and Scroll API........
