Using scrolls in Javaedit
Read the scroll documentation first!
import static org.elasticsearch.index.query.QueryBuilders.*; QueryBuilder qb = termQuery("multi", "test"); SearchResponse scrollResp = client.prepareSearch(test) .addSort(SortParseElement.DOC_FIELD_NAME, SortOrder.ASC) .setScroll(new TimeValue(60000)) .setQuery(qb) .setSize(100).execute().actionGet(); //100 hits per shard will be returned for each scroll //Scroll until no hits are returned while (true) { for (SearchHit hit : scrollResp.getHits().getHits()) { //Handle the hit... } scrollResp = client.prepareSearchScroll(scrollResp.getScrollId()).setScroll(new TimeValue(60000)).execute().actionGet(); //Break condition: No hits are returned if (scrollResp.getHits().getHits().length == 0) { break; } }

The size-parameter is per shard, so if you run a query against multiple indices (leading to many shards being involved in the query) the result might be more documents per execution of the scroll than you would expect!
