如果你想提取成千上万的记录，那么……少数人给出了使用“scroll”的正确答案(注意:一些人还建议使用“search_type=scan”。这已被弃用，并在v5.0中被移除。你不需要它)

从一个“search”查询开始，但指定一个“scroll”参数(这里我使用了1分钟的超时):

curl -XGET 'http://ip1:9200/myindex/_search?scroll=1m' -d '
{
    "query": {
            "match_all" : {}
    }
}
'

这包括你的第一批热门作品。但这还没完。上面curl命令的输出是这样的:

{"_scroll_id":"c2Nhbjs1OzUyNjE6NU4tU3BrWi1UWkNIWVNBZW43bXV3Zzs1Mzc3OkhUQ0g3VGllU2FhemJVNlM5d2t0alE7NTI2Mjo1Ti1TcGtaLVRaQ0hZU0FlbjdtdXdnOzUzNzg6SFRDSDdUaWVTYWF6YlU2Uzl3a3RqUTs1MjYzOjVOLVNwa1otVFpDSFlTQWVuN211d2c7MTt0b3RhbF9oaXRzOjIyNjAxMzU3Ow==","took":109,"timed_out":false,"_shards":{"total":5,"successful":5,"failed":0},"hits":{"total":22601357,"max_score":0.0,"hits":[]}}

重要的是要有_scroll_id方便，接下来你应该运行以下命令:

    curl -XGET  'localhost:9200/_search/scroll'  -d'
    {
        "scroll" : "1m", 
        "scroll_id" : "c2Nhbjs2OzM0NDg1ODpzRlBLc0FXNlNyNm5JWUc1" 
    }
    '

然而，传递scroll_id并不是设计为手动完成的。最好的办法是编写代码来实现它。例如，在java中:

    private TransportClient client = null;
    private Settings settings = ImmutableSettings.settingsBuilder()
                  .put(CLUSTER_NAME,"cluster-test").build();
    private SearchResponse scrollResp  = null;

    this.client = new TransportClient(settings);
    this.client.addTransportAddress(new InetSocketTransportAddress("ip", port));

    QueryBuilder queryBuilder = QueryBuilders.matchAllQuery();
    scrollResp = client.prepareSearch(index).setSearchType(SearchType.SCAN)
                 .setScroll(new TimeValue(60000))                            
                 .setQuery(queryBuilder)
                 .setSize(100).execute().actionGet();

    scrollResp = client.prepareSearchScroll(scrollResp.getScrollId())
                .setScroll(new TimeValue(timeVal))
                .execute()
                .actionGet();

现在在最后一个命令上使用LOOP来提取数据。

这是我使用python客户端发现的最佳解决方案

  # Initialize the scroll
  page = es.search(
  index = 'yourIndex',
  doc_type = 'yourType',
  scroll = '2m',
  search_type = 'scan',
  size = 1000,
  body = {
    # Your query's body
    })
  sid = page['_scroll_id']
  scroll_size = page['hits']['total']

  # Start scrolling
  while (scroll_size > 0):
    print "Scrolling..."
    page = es.scroll(scroll_id = sid, scroll = '2m')
    # Update the scroll ID
    sid = page['_scroll_id']
    # Get the number of results that we returned in the last scroll
    scroll_size = len(page['hits']['hits'])
    print "scroll size: " + str(scroll_size)
    # Do something with the obtained page

使用java客户端

import static org.elasticsearch.index.query.QueryBuilders.*;

QueryBuilder qb = termQuery("multi", "test");

SearchResponse scrollResp = client.prepareSearch(test)
        .addSort(FieldSortBuilder.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
do {
    for (SearchHit hit : scrollResp.getHits().getHits()) {
        //Handle the hit...
    }

    scrollResp = client.prepareSearchScroll(scrollResp.getScrollId()).setScroll(new TimeValue(60000)).execute().actionGet();
} while(scrollResp.getHits().getHits().length != 0); // Zero hits mark the end of the scroll and the while loop.

curl -XGET '{{IP/localhost}}:9200/{{Index name}}/{{type}}/_search?scroll=10m&pretty' -d '{
"query": {
"filtered": {
"query": {
"match_all": {}
}}'

调整大小的最佳方法是在URL前面使用size=number

Curl -XGET "http://localhost:9200/logstash-*/_search?size=50&pretty"

注:此尺寸可定义的最大值为10000。对于任何高于10,000的值，它希望您使用滚动函数，这将最大限度地减少对性能的影响。

使用server:9200/_stats也可以获得所有别名的统计信息。就像每个别名的大小和元素数量一样，这非常有用，并提供了有用的信息

elasticsearch(ES)既支持GET请求，也支持POST请求，以便从ES集群索引中获取数据。

当我们执行GET操作时:

http://localhost:9200/[your index name]/_search?size=[no of records you want]&q=*:*

当我们做POST时:

http://localhost:9200/[your_index_name]/_search
{
  "size": [your value] //default 10
  "from": [your start index] //default 0
  "query":
   {
    "match_all": {}
   }
}   

我建议使用elasticsearch http://mobz.github.io/elasticsearch-head/的UI插件 这将帮助您更好地了解您创建的索引，并测试您的索引。
