I'm using ElasticSearch to generate reports, such as a data warehouse, unfortunately the default configuration of `index.max_result_window` dont allow more than 10K documents, indeed this is necessary for performance.

How is possible return all documents and keep the value of aggregations concise?

_Using: Elasticsearch 6.2.3_

The scroll API is meant for that.

Thanks @dadoonet, the scroll worked quickly and is easy to use.
