How can I refine the query to return only number of hits

You can do the Match_All and then set the size to 0. They you will
just have to grab the "total hits" variable from the result set.

Or with search_type:

$ curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/_search?search_type=count&pretty=true' -d '
{"query" : { "match_all" : {}}}
