I am using Java API for sending search requests.
`System.out.println(searchResponse.getHits().totalHits());` gives me a non-zero number which I confirmed is correct as I checked it on Sense as well. But as soon as try to run a loop on the hits like `for (SearchHit hit : searchResponse.getHits()) {...}` or try to access the hits individually `searchResponse.getHits().getAt(0).getSource().get("doc_id");` I get `java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException`.
I don't know why is this happening.

totalHits is the total number of matching documents. If you are paginating and have a value of `from` that is greater than or equal to totalHits, then your hits will be empty.

Is there any way I can solve this. I actually have not set value to `setFrom` but I have `setSize` as 10. And no. of hits that I get are always less than 10. How should I solve this issue?
I tried reducing the value of `setSize` to 1 but still I am getting this error!
UPDATE: I set both `setFrom` and `setSize` to 1 and it does not give this error now
