I am trying to use the Java 8.9 client to send multi-search requests ([Multi search API | Elasticsearch Guide [8.10] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-multi-search.html)) but am getting a NullPointerException when waiting for the results to come back… Is there a limit to the number of requests I can send? I am attempting to send ~500 in one search. Each request is sending a Boolean query within an index within a specified date range and is either a query string query or a geospatial distance query. I was able to get results back with a single request sent via the multi-search API call… Albeit the results were empty as nothing was found. I also am able to get results back from the same queries using the single-search/non-multi-search API. Was hoping to be able to use the multi-search for these larger requests. Any thoughts/help would be great! ---
