es scroll 时间_ES scroll（ES游标） 解决深分页

ES scroll(ES游标) 解决深分页。

Why

当Elasticsearch响应请求时，它必须确定docs的顺序，排列响应结果。如果请求的页数较少(假设每页20个docs), Elasticsearch不会有什么问题，但是如果页数较大时，比如请求第20页，Elasticsearch不得不取出第1页到第20页的所有docs，再去除第1页到第19页的docs，得到第20页的docs。

原理

Scrolling allows us to do an initial search and to keep pulling batches of results from Elasticsearch until there are no more results left. It’s a bit like a cursor in a traditional database.

A scrolled search takes a snapshot in time(适时). 中间更新不可见。

深分页的代价是全局排序，若禁止排序，sort by _doc，return the next batch of results from every shard that still has results to return.

context keepalive time(当批够用) 和 scroll_id(最新)

Set the scroll value to the length of time we want to keep the scroll window open.

How long it should keep the “search context” alive.

The scroll expiry time is refreshed every time we run a scroll request，所以不宜过长(垃圾)、过短(超时)，够处理一批数据即可。

scroll parameter : how long it should keep the search context alive，long enough to process the previous batch of results, each scroll request sets a new expiry time.

An open search context prevents the old segments from being deleted while they are still in use.

注意：Keeping older segments alive means that more file handles(FD) are needed.

检查有多少search contexts(open_contexts)：

Clear scroll API

Search context are automatically removed when the scroll timeout has been exceeded.

size

When scanning, the size is applied to each shard, 真实size是：size * number_of_primary_shards.

否则(regular scroll)，返还总的size。

查询结束

No more hits are returned. Each call to the scroll API returns the next batch of results until there are no more results left to return, ie the hits array is empty.

适用场景

Scrolling is not intended for real time(实时) user requests, but rather for processing large amounts of data.

scroll目的，不是处理实时的用户请求，而是为处理大数据的。

似快照

The results that are returned from a scroll request reflect the state of the index at the time that the initial search request was made, like a snapshot in time. Subsequent changes to documents (index, update or delete) will only affect later search requests.

聚合

If the request specifies aggs, only the initial search response will contain the aggs results.

顺序无关

不关心返回文档的顺序！

Scroll requests have optimizations that make them faster when the sort order is _doc. If you want to iterate over all documents regardless of the order, this is the most efficient option:

scanning and standard scroll

scanning scroll与standard scroll 查询几点不同：

1. scanning scroll 结果没有排序，结果顺序是doc入库时的顺序；

2. scanning scroll 不支持聚合

3. scanning scroll 最初查询结果的“hits”列表中不会包含结果

4. scanning scroll 最初查询中如果设定了“size”，是设定每个分片(shard)size的数量，若size=3，有5个shard，每次返回结果的最大值就是3*5=15。

示例

常见问题

scroll_id一样与否

异常：SearchContextMissingException

SearchContextMissingException[No search context found for id [721283]];

原因：scroll设置的时间过短了。

scroll_id的生成：

…search.type.TransportSearchHelper#buildScrollId(…) 三个参数，搜索查询类型、结果信息、查询条件参数 TransportSearchQueryThenFetchAction.AsyncAction. finishHim()
