This is the code Sample which i m using to get the result:-

```auto
SearchRequest searchRequest = new SearchRequest();
searchRequest.indices("contentsearch");
SearchSourceBuilder searchSourceBuilder = new SearchSourceBuilder();
BoolQueryBuilder bFilter = QueryBuilders.boolQuery();

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
Map<String,String> filterMap = (Map<String, String>) inputMap.get("Filter");
for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : filterMap.entrySet()) {
	bFilter.filter(QueryBuilders.constantScoreQuery(QueryBuilders.termQuery((String) entry.getKey(), ((String) entry.getValue()).toLowerCase())));
}
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
List<String> outParamList = (List<String>) inputMap.get("Out");
String[] arr = new String[outParamList.size()]; 
searchSourceBuilder.query(bFilter);
searchSourceBuilder.fetchSource(true).fetchSource((String[]) outParamList.toArray(arr),null);
searchRequest.source(searchSourceBuilder);
SearchResponse searchResponse = null;
try {
	searchResponse= esClient.search(searchRequest, RequestOptions.DEFAULT);
}catch (Exception e) {
	e.printStackTrace();		
}
if(searchResponse!=null) {	
	SearchHit[] searchHits = searchResponse.getHits().getHits();
	logger.info("Search hits total : "+searchResponse.getHits().getTotalHits().value);
	for (SearchHit hit:searchHits) {
		Map<String, Object> map = hit.getSourceAsMap();
		logger.info("map---"+map.toString());
		JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(map);
		jsonArray.put(jsonObject);
	}
}

```

If we are not using this statement

searchSourceBuilder.fetchSource(true).fetchSource((String) outParamList.toArray(arr),null);

Than we are getting whole columns but i want specific source filter. So if anybody can help on this. It will be very kindly thankful to them.

Using HighLevelRestClient for this. Getting output in this form :  
map---{}  
map---{}  
map---{}

What values do you have in `arr`?  
What does a document looks like? (In JSON format).

There's a live preview panel for exactly this reasons.

Lots of people read these forums, and many of them will simply skip over a post that is difficult to read, because it's just too large an investment of their time to try and follow a wall of badly formatted text.

I edited your post. Just edit it again to see what I put to make it readable.

Could you try to change this line:

```
searchSourceBuilder.fetchSource(true).fetchSource((String[]) outParamList.toArray(arr),null);

```

to

```
searchSourceBuilder.fetchSource((String[]) outParamList.toArray(arr), null);
```
