Hi  
I am stuck on a weird problem.

I am running a text\_phrase query over a range of timestamps. this query is  
perfectly fine. I want to download the entire result (some 1.5 million  
documents) so I used scan + scroll\_id method.

This is my Curl

curl -XGET  
'remotehost:9200/graylog2/messsage/\_search?search\_type=scan&scroll=10m&size=10'  
-d '  
{  
"query":{"bool":{"must":[{"text":{"message":"this is an  
error"}},{"range":{"created\_at":{"from":"1341597072","to":"1344275472"}}}]}}  
}

I get the scrollid in response as we should.

next step: use the scroll id on the \_Search endpoint

curl -XGET 'remotehost:9200/\_search/scroll?scroll=10m' -d  
'c2Nhbjs1OzgwOnRxMnhsNGhuVFZxeE0xUTRyN3piYlE7Nzk6dHEyeGw0aG5UVnF4TTFRNHI3emJiUTs3ODp0cTJ4bDRoblRWcXhNMVE0cjd6YmJROzc3OnRxMnhsNGhuVFZxeE0xUTRyN3piYlE7NzY6dHEyeGw0aG5UVnF4TTFRNHI3emJiUTsxO3RvdGFsX2hpdHM6MTIwNDQ3NTs='

However the response gives me back the same scroll id in the json  
['\_scroll\_id']

So what happens is that I can make one more query with the above scroll id  
after which it will fail.

{"error":"ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException[174]","status":500}

I am not sure what I am doing wrong here, please help?

thank you

Are you using the scroll id from the previous response as the one to use for the next request?
