Size limit for items within a document

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I am trying to retrieve a document from elastic-search that comprises of an entity that has a data-set of more than 10k items. I have already gone through scrolling, paging and other options but that only helps in retrieving the JSON documents as a whole from the elastic-search database and won't apply on the items within any particular document.

P.s. what i want is to scroll through nested documents(child elements) that exceed elastic-search size limit

Is there any workaround for this ?

Is this what you are after?

index.max_result_window - Default size is 10000, so scrolling is the recommended way to fetch larger results.

Did you try filter_path or _source_include on your request?
