I am facing the same issue . When I use curl to get response , it takes around 40-50 ms . But When same query is executed using execute().actionGet() using TransportClient , it takes around 1000 ms. Trying to figure out the root cause and the solution of this problem .

```
Settings settings = Settings.builder().put("cluster.name", "elasticsearch-stage").build();
productsClient = TransportClient.builder().settings(settings).build()
    .addTransportAddress(new InetSocketTransportAddress(
	     InetAddress.getByName(conf.getString("elasticsearch.client")),conf.getInt("elasticsearch.port")));
srb = productsClient.prepareSearch();
srb.setIndices(CustomUtility.readFromConfig("elasticsearch.index.name"));
srb.setTypes(CustomUtility.readFromConfig("elasticsearch.index.type"));
srb.setQuery(orFilterCatId);
srb.setFrom((int) startFrom);
srb.setSize(perPage);
response = srb.execute().actionGet();

```

Could anybody pls help me out with this.....................

Can you describe what you have in `orFilterCatId`, `perPage`?  
May be print with a `srb.toString()` what does the request looks like?

Also can you give the exact query you are running with `curl`?

Thanks for the response .

Following is srb.toString():

> 

{  
"from" : 0,  
"size" : 60,  
"query" : {  
"bool" : {  
"must" : [ {  
"bool" : {  
"should" : {  
"term" : {  
"catid" : "100"  
}  
}  
}  
}, {  
"term" : {  
"winning\_variant" : 1  
}  
}, {  
"term" : {  
"is\_in\_stock" : 1  
}  
}, {  
"range" : {  
"qty" : {  
"from" : 0,  
"to" : null,  
"include\_lower" : false,  
"include\_upper" : true  
}  
}  
}, {  
"range" : {  
"discounted\_price" : {  
"from" : 0,  
"to" : null,  
"include\_lower" : false,  
"include\_upper" : true  
}  
}  
}, {  
"range" : {  
"price" : {  
"from" : 0,  
"to" : null,  
"include\_lower" : false,  
"include\_upper" : true  
}  
}  
} ]  
}  
},  
"explain" : false,  
"sort" : [ {  
"relevance\_score" : {  
"order" : "desc"  
}  
}, {  
"qty" : {  
"order" : "desc"  
}  
} ]  
}

and I give the same query to curl request which looks like

curl -XGET [http://localhost:9200/indexname/typename/\_search](http://localhost:9200/indexname/typename/_search) -d' '

And also hit the same query in Sense.

Sense and curl were executed in 40-60 ms and java API query took above 1000ms

Please format your code using `</>` icon. It will make your post more readable.

Can you print the output of `response.toString()` and the curl full response please?

Thanks for the response .

response.toString is as follows

> 

{  
"took" : 36,  
"timed\_out" : false,  
"\_shards" : {  
"total" : 5,  
"successful" : 5,  
"failed" : 0  
}

From above it is clear that it is taking 36 ms but my following lines of code

> 

long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();  
response = srb.execute().actionGet();  
long endTime=System.currentTimeMillis();  
System.out.println(endTime-startTime);

shows 1752 ms

I am not able to understand this

So the response here is `36ms`. Not `1s`. You have something wrong which is happening in your code **AFTER** that.

May be a proxy?

The curl `took` time does not take network latency into account.

You should inspect

```auto
 SearchResponse response = srb.execute().actionGet();
 response.getTookInMillis();

```

and compare it with curl's `took`.
