How to set the query resultset size to infinite

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi all,

I just joined the mailing list, so sorry if this topic was discussed before.

I would like to set the query size to infinite (or no limit).

http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-from-size.html
This page explains what the parameters do, but there are no details on how
to set the size to "no limit" or (if not possible) what is the max value
accepted by ES for this parameter. I tried setting the value to -1, as I've
read somewhere that this would be recognized as "no limit", but instead it
defaults to 10.

Any help?

Thanks,
Nuno

You don't want to do that!
If your need is to extract (download) 1 000 000 000 records, you need to use scan&scroll API: http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/scan-scroll.html#scan-scroll

Right... that makes sense :slight_smile:

I'll give it a try, thank you!
