除了@Akira Sendoh，没有人回答如何实际获得所有文档。但是即使是这个解决方案也会使我的ES 6.3服务在没有日志的情况下崩溃。对我来说，使用底层elasticsearch-py库唯一有效的是通过使用scroll() api的扫描助手:

from elasticsearch.helpers import scan

doc_generator = scan(
    es_obj,
    query={"query": {"match_all": {}}},
    index="my-index",
)

# use the generator to iterate, dont try to make a list or you will get out of RAM
for doc in doc_generator:
    # use it somehow

然而，现在更简洁的方法似乎是通过elasticsearch-dsl库，它提供了更抽象、更简洁的调用，例如:http://elasticsearch-dsl.readthedocs.io/en/latest/search_dsl.html#hits

http://localhost:9200/foo/_search/?size=1000&pretty=1

您需要指定大小查询参数，因为默认值是10

你可以使用_count API来获取size参数的值:

http://localhost:9200/foo/_count?q=<your query>

返回{count:X，…}。提取值'X'，然后执行实际查询:

http://localhost:9200/foo/_search?q=<your query>&size=X

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.

简单!你可以使用size和from参数!

http://localhost:9200/[your index name]/_search?size=1000&from=0

然后逐渐改变，直到你得到所有的数据。

你实际上不需要传递一个body给match_all，它可以通过一个GET请求到下面的URL来完成。这是最简单的形式。

http://localhost:9200/foo/_search
