Hi, I use Java API to works with ES. When I start using scroll API like that: ``` SearchResponse response = client.prepareSearch() .setIndices(indexName) .setTypes(type) .setSearchType(SearchType.DEFAULT) .setScroll(TimeValue.timeValueMinutes(1)); .setSize(LogEntryStorage.SCROLL_PAGE_SIZE) .setExplain(true) .execute().actionGet() response = srb.execute().actionGet(); response = client.prepareSearchScroll(response.getScrollId()) .setScroll(TimeValue.timeValueMinutes(1)).execute().actionGet(); ``` The result of response.getHits().getHits() is empty but response.getHits().getTotalHits() has number which is correct. How to get this values ? I need to close or refresh scroll somehow? Thanks ---

There is no query apparently, right? So it's a match\_all here. I'd first remove `.setExplain(true)` as it does not bring any value and might slow down your process anyway. If you run one first time this, and have totalHits \> 0 then you should have something in the `response.getHits().getHits()` I think. Are you sure you did not run it a second time but there are no more records available? ---

Hi David I see the problem, without scroll the total number of hits is 139. When I change setSize to 200 then in scroll getHits is 0 but when i change setSize to number lower than totalHits for example 20, then each hit on scroll i have bunch of date with 20 results. It looks like a bug when setSize is higher than total size. > Are you sure you did not run it a second time but there are no more records available? Yes, I'm sure ---

I'm surprised. Which version is that? ---

Can you reproduce it with just some REST commands? From Kibana Console? ---

Unfortunately not now. P.S Great presentation on CodeEurope in 2017 in Cracow 😉 ---

Haha! Thank you! I'll be back at CodeEurope in Poznan in June 12th. 😛 ---

Do you have any possibility to check/test this strange behavior? Or how to check it on Kibana? How to create scroll? ---

I tried this on 6.2.3: ```auto DELETE test POST test/doc/_bulk { "index": {} } { "foo": "bar" } { "index": {} } { "foo": "bar" } { "index": {} } { "foo": "bar" } { "index": {} } { "foo": "bar" } { "index": {} } { "foo": "bar" } { "index": {} } { "foo": "bar" } { "index": {} } { "foo": "bar" } { "index": {} } { "foo": "bar" } { "index": {} } { "foo": "bar" } { "index": {} } { "foo": "bar" } { "index": {} } { "foo": "bar" } { "index": {} } { "foo": "bar" } { "index": {} } { "foo": "bar" } { "index": {} } { "foo": "bar" } { "index": {} } { "foo": "bar" } { "index": {} } { "foo": "bar" } { "index": {} } { "foo": "bar" } POST test/_search?scroll=1m { "size": 100 } ``` It works well: ```auto { "_scroll_id": "DnF1ZXJ5VGhlbkZldGNoBQAAAAAAAAFXFnJBbWhNdEtXU2MyTktwVFVjWGhiNVEAAAAAAAABVhZyQW1oTXRLV1NjMk5LcFRVY1hoYjVRAAAAAAAAAVgWckFtaE10S1dTYzJOS3BUVWNYaGI1UQAAAAAAAAFZFnJBbWhNdEtXU2MyTktwVFVjWGhiNVEAAAAAAAABWhZyQW1oTXRLV1NjMk5LcFRVY1hoYjVR", "took": 5, "timed_out": false, "_shards": { "total": 5, "successful": 5, "skipped": 0, "failed": 0 }, "hits": { "total": 17, "max_score": 1, "hits": [ { "_index": "test", "_type": "doc", "_id": "iO3GmmIBFZyT-UHdSJyi", "_score": 1, "_source": { "foo": "bar" } }, { "_index": "test", "_type": "doc", "_id": "ku3GmmIBFZyT-UHdSJyi", "_score": 1, "_source": { "foo": "bar" } }, { "_index": "test", "_type": "doc", "_id": "iu3GmmIBFZyT-UHdSJyi", "_score": 1, "_source": { "foo": "bar" } }, { "_index": "test", "_type": "doc", "_id": "je3GmmIBFZyT-UHdSJyi", "_score": 1, "_source": { "foo": "bar" } }, { "_index": "test", "_type": "doc", "_id": "kO3GmmIBFZyT-UHdSJyi", "_score": 1, "_source": { "foo": "bar" } }, { "_index": "test", "_type": "doc", "_id": "k-3GmmIBFZyT-UHdSJyi", "_score": 1, "_source": { "foo": "bar" } }, { "_index": "test", "_type": "doc", "_id": "ie3GmmIBFZyT-UHdSJyi", "_score": 1, "_source": { "foo": "bar" } }, { "_index": "test", "_type": "doc", "_id": "i-3GmmIBFZyT-UHdSJyi", "_score": 1, "_source": { "foo": "bar" } }, { "_index": "test", "_type": "doc", "_id": "ju3GmmIBFZyT-UHdSJyi", "_score": 1, "_source": { "foo": "bar" } }, { "_index": "test", "_type": "doc", "_id": "lO3GmmIBFZyT-UHdSJyi", "_score": 1, "_source": { "foo": "bar" } }, { "_index": "test", "_type": "doc", "_id": "lu3GmmIBFZyT-UHdSJyi", "_score": 1, "_source": { "foo": "bar" } }, { "_index": "test", "_type": "doc", "_id": "l-3GmmIBFZyT-UHdSJyi", "_score": 1, "_source": { "foo": "bar" } }, { "_index": "test", "_type": "doc", "_id": "mO3GmmIBFZyT-UHdSJyi", "_score": 1, "_source": { "foo": "bar" } }, { "_index": "test", "_type": "doc", "_id": "jO3GmmIBFZyT-UHdSJyi", "_score": 1, "_source": { "foo": "bar" } }, { "_index": "test", "_type": "doc", "_id": "j-3GmmIBFZyT-UHdSJyi", "_score": 1, "_source": { "foo": "bar" } }, { "_index": "test", "_type": "doc", "_id": "ke3GmmIBFZyT-UHdSJyi", "_score": 1, "_source": { "foo": "bar" } }, { "_index": "test", "_type": "doc", "_id": "le3GmmIBFZyT-UHdSJyi", "_score": 1, "_source": { "foo": "bar" } } ] } } ``` ---
