I have following java code :  
BoolFilterBuilder boolFilter = getBoolFilterBuilder(opportunityIds, startDate, endDate);

```
	SearchRequestBuilder searchRequestBuilder = this.getTransportClient().prepareSearch(getIndex())
			.setTypes(getDocumentType())
			.setQuery(QueryBuilders.filteredQuery(QueryBuilders.matchAllQuery(), boolFilter))
			.setSearchType(SearchType.SCAN)
			.setScroll(new TimeValue(6000))
			.setSize(1000);

	SearchResponse response = esQueryUtils.execute(searchRequestBuilder);

```

and the response is

{  
"\_scroll\_id" : "c2Nhbjs1OzQ3MjczMzE6TXp6UG9TUTJUNk8zYWVjZmhtaVVRUTs0NzI3MzMyOk16elBvU1EyVDZPM2FlY2ZobWlVUVE7NDcyNzMzMzpNenpQb1NRMlQ2TzNhZWNmaG1pVVFROzQ3MjczMzQ6TXp6UG9TUTJUNk8zYWVjZmhtaVVRUTs0NzI3MzM1Ok16elBvU1EyVDZPM2FlY2ZobWlVUVE7MTt0b3RhbF9oaXRzOjE2ODk1Ow==",  
"took" : 23,  
"timed\_out" : false,  
"\_shards" : {  
"total" : 5,  
"successful" : 5,  
"failed" : 0  
},  
"hits" : {  
"total" : 16895,  
"max\_score" : 0.0,  
"hits" : []  
}  
}  
the problem is why hits is coming empty, if it has a total of 16895.
