Could anyone give me any ideas which can get \_mtermvectors please, I used the following code, but it didn't work:  
val query= """\_mtermvectors {  
"ids" : ["1256","7891"],  
"parameters": {  
"fields": [  
"tname"  
],  
"term\_statistics": true  
}  
}"""  
var idRdd = sparkContext.esRDD("uindex/type1",query)

Hello again!

`_mtermvectors` is a _document api_ call, not a _query_. ES-Hadoop uses the scroll api along with an optionally provided query. A provided query must be either a valid `?uri_query`, a valid _Query DSL_, or an external resource file which contains either of the two preceding query types. Please see [this documentation entry](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/hadoop/current/configuration.html#_querying) for more information.
