Hi,
I have a total of 10000 docs in my index A. I am trying to access response hits in my custom plugin class to modify my output for a use case.
When I am using the below for loop statement, response hits are only 9945.
My expected hits should be 10000.
`for(MultiSearchResponse.Item response : items)`
Attaching a
 screenshot of response.
Please help.

Just a guess because you're not telling a lot about the context.
Are you running this in an integration test?
And you indexed 10k docs?
And just after run the search?
But you did not call refresh before searching?
If I'm wrong then share what the query is.

I am using MultiSearchResponse in my custom plugin class to perform/modify some output where ever certain query is matched.
I have 10000 docs. Static index.
Ex:
`{ "query": { "bool" : { "must" : { "term" : { "pname" : "apple" } } } } }`

That doesn't answer my questions.
Anyway what is the output of
```
GET _search?size=0
```
In Kibana console?

I executed the query
```
curl -XGET localhost:9208/querytest/_search?size=0
```
Result:
`{"took":1,"timed_out":false,"_shards":{"total":5,"successful":5,"failed":0},"hits":{"total":10000,"max_score":0.0,"hits":[]}}`
While debug also I face the same issue with totalHits and InternalSearchHit.
Attaching snapshot.
Is this info relate for the question? please correct me if I'm wrong

Here is the original image you posted:
The totalHits is `9945`, not `10000`.
I don't understand why you think there is an issue.

It's showing as 9945 but the total hits when I run through curl which I posted earlier
gives totalhits as 10000
In the below code :
```
SearchHit[] searchHits = response.getResponse().getHits().getHits();
if(searchHits.length > 0){
for(SearchHit hit : searchHits){
Map sourceMap = hit.sourceAsMap();
```
I am left with 9945 hits instead of 10000 hits.

At the moment you initially run the request, you had `9945` hits that matches your query. That's all what I can say.
There is no bug here.
As I said, I believe that you did not refresh the index before running your first search.
But if you think there is an issue, please share the full code which can help to reproduce the problem.

I have an Index containing 10k docs, In every document the field `nde:scs` exists.
When I search this query in kibana/curl, I get the output as expected which is 10000 hits.
But when I try to access the hits through MultiSearchResponse Class in the code I am getting hits as only 9945 while debugging.

I see. Let me check.

So I created an index with 10000 records. Then I ran the following code:
```auto
SearchRequest searchRequest = new SearchRequest("test");
searchRequest.source(new SearchSourceBuilder().size(10000));
SearchResponse searchResponse = client.search(searchRequest, RequestOptions.DEFAULT);
System.out.println("response size = " + searchResponse.getHits().getHits().length);
MultiSearchRequest request = new MultiSearchRequest().add(searchRequest);
MultiSearchResponse response = client.msearch(request, RequestOptions.DEFAULT);
System.out.println("response size = " + response.getResponses()[0].getResponse().getHits().getHits().length);
```
This is giving:
```auto
response size = 10000
response size = 10000
```
So I'm always getting the right number of records.
What is your version? I'm using 6.6.2.

I am getting searchHits.length as 9945 but totalHits as 10000 can u help me understand.
Code block which I'm using for response
```
for(MultiSearchResponse.Item response : items) {
if (response.getResponse() == null) {
break;
}
SearchHit[] searchHits = response.getResponse().getHits().getHits();
if(searchHits.length > 0){
for(SearchHit hit : searchHits){
sourceSecondMap = hit.sourceAsMap();
```

Then upgrade may be. That version is sooooo old.

I can if you share a full example as I did.
If you don't share more, it's hard to help.
