I am trying to download complete elastic search index using:
curl -o output_filename -m 600 -GET 'http://ip/index/_search?q=*&size=7000000'.
But its giving error:
{"error":"ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException[-131072]","status":500}
How can I download complete index data?
The scroll API is what you're looking for, which supports proper pagination:
Scrolling is not intended for real time user requests, but rather for processing large amounts of data
It's the same /_search endpoint but additional gets passed the ?scroll=<timeout> parameter.
Please be sure to understand what the timeout to e.g. scroll=1m means: it will keep alive your scroll context until you request the next batch/page.
Use the scroll_id from the response to request the next batch/page.
