Hello,
is there a way to ask twice ElasticSearch for the same batch of results when scrolling a search?
In this scenario, Elastic has properly returned the batch of results but something has failed into the client and a retry would be desired.
Thanks¡¡

No. It's not possible with Scroll API.
But may be you could achieve something similar with [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.5/search-request-search-after.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.5/search-request-search-after.html)
