I am using elastic8. with java client. I first used elasticclient.search() request  
this returned scrollId then i used same scrollID to call  
` client.scroll(scrollID)` api  
however the first call elasticclient.search() is returning scollid as NULL.  
I have followed this doc

Sorry friends  
when i was passing SearchRequestQuery i was not passing scroll unit

```auto
                    s -> s.index(index).query(queryobj).scroll(t->t.time("1")), Map.class);

```

now i am getting the error

```auto
[es/search] failed: [illegal_argument_exception] failed to parse setting [scroll] with value [1] as a time value: unit is missing or unrecognized

```

Now I am not sure what is unit of Scroll value

I am successfully able to get ScrollID but when i set the scrollID on client.scroll(scrollValueFromsearchResponse) i get error

```plaintext

var searchScrollResponse=elasticsearchClient.scroll(x->x.scrollId(scrollId),Map.class);

```

error i get is as below

```auto
failed to parse setting [SearchScrollRequest.keepAlive] with value [FGluY2x1ZGVfY29udGV4dF91dWlkDXF1ZXJ5QW5kRmV0Y2gBFkJISTNWaVowU3ptdnpzclZmVEMxb1EAAAAAAAAAZhZGeEp6VU1MTVRlbXY5OUIyNEZGOXRB] as a time value: unit is missing or unrecognized

how did you manage to not get null for scrollId?

```auto
  SearchRequest.Builder searchRequestBuilder = new SearchRequest.Builder();
        searchRequestBuilder.index("myIndex");

        searchRequestBuilder.scroll(new Time.Builder().time("10m").build());
        searchRequestBuilder.size(5);

        return esConnection.search(searchRequestBuilder.build(), clazz);

```

I'm getting null
