Re: Looking for a best practice to get all data according to some filters
Search consumes O(offset + size) memory and O(ln(offset + size)*(offset+size) CPU. Scan scroll has higher overhead but is O(size) the whole time. I don't know the break even point. The other thing is that scroll provides a consistent snapshot. That means it consumes resources you shouldn't let end users expose but it won't miss results or have repeats like scrolling with increasing offset. You can certainly do large fetches with big size but its less stable in general. Finally, scan/scroll has always been pretty quick for me. I usually use a batch size in the thousands.

Re: Looking for a best practice to get all data according to some filters
Just to reword what others have said, ES will allocate memory for [size] scores as I understand it (per shard?) regardless of the final result count. If you're getting back 4986 results from a query, it'd be faster to use size: 4986 than size: 100. What I've done in similar situations is to issue a count first with the same filter (which is very fast), then use the result of that in the size field. It worked much better/faster than using a default large size. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups elasticsearch group.

Re: Looking for a best practice to get all data according to some filters
Hi, I am facing the same situation: We would like to get all the ids of the documents matching certain criteria. In the worst case (which is the one I am exposing here), the documents matching the criteria would be around 200K, and in our first tests it is really slow (around 15 seconds). However, if we do the same query just for count documents, ES replies in just 10-15ms, which is amazing. I suspect that the problem is on the transport layer and the latency generated by transferring a big JSON result. Would you recommend, in a situation like this, to use another transport layer like Thirf or a custom solution?.

Re: Looking for a best practice to get all data according to some filters
So you're saying there's no impact on elasticsearch if I issue a large size? If that's the case then why shouldn't I just call size of 1M if I want to make sure I get everything?

It's not realtime because you basically scroll over a given set of segments and all new changes that will come in new segments won't be taken into account during the scroll. Which is good because you won't get inconsistent results. About size, I'd would try and test. It depends on your docs size I believe. Try with 1 and see how it goes when you increase it. You will may be discover that getting 10*1 docs is the same as 1*10. :) Best David Le 10 déc. 2014 à 19:09, Ron Sher ron@gmail.com javascript: a écrit : Hi, I was wondering about best practices to to get all data according to some filters.

Re: Looking for a best practice to get all data according to some filters
No I did not say that. Or I did not mean that. Sorry if it was unclear. I said: don’t use large sizes: Never use size:1000 or from:1000.
