SearchResponse hits vs facet counts

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

Is there a reason why I cannot use the SearchResponse.hits().totalHits() number instead of having a facet in the same query that returns the same number?

For example, do I need the facet in the query below or can I not just use the totalHits() count instead as both return the same number?

{"query": {
"filtered" : {
"filter" : {
"term" : { "myField" : "myValue" }
},
"query" : { "match_all" : {} }
}
},
"facets" : {
"my_facet" : {
"filter" : {
"term" : { "myField" : "myValue" }
}
}
},
"from":0,
"size":20
}'

Kind Regards,

Dirk

If you need only to know the number total of hits, don't use facets.
SearchResponse.hits().totalHits() will do it.
