I am seeing the above error when Application Searches from ES cluster. I wonder how it shows as 1000 when the default seems to be 10K.
ES Version:
"number" : "5.5.3",
"build\_hash" : "9305a5e",
"build\_date" : "2017-09-07T15:56:59.599Z",
"build\_snapshot" : false,
"lucene\_version" : "6.6.0"
```
org.elasticsearch.transport.RemoteTransportException: [es-data01][10.11.56.107:9300][indices:data/read/search[phase/query]]
Caused by: org.elasticsearch.search.query.QueryPhaseExecutionException: Result window is too large, from + size must be less than or equal to: [1000] but was [1025]. See the scroll api for a more efficient way to request large data sets. This limit can be set by changing the [index.max_result_window] index level setting.

Looks strange to me as the default limit is 10000 not 1000.
Check your index settings

Ah, right it comes from the index settings. Thanks.
