I am using the python dsl library
When I do a standard search I use execute(), this is a method that will return a Response object (https://elasticsearch-dsl.readthedocs.io/en/latest/search_dsl.html). Looks to have .search at the heart of it
In some cases I to use scroll . This works, but it returns a dictionary.
What I want to do is use scroll but to return a response in the same way that execute() does
The DSL Elasticsearch function does this
def execute(self, ignore_cache=False):
"""
Execute the search and return an instance of ``Response`` wrapping all
the data.
:arg response_class: optional subclass of ``Response`` to use instead.
"""
if ignore_cache or not hasattr(self, '_response'):
es = connections.get_connection(self._using)
self._response = self._response_class(
self,
es.search(
index=self._index,
doc_type=self._doc_type,
body=self.to_dict(),
**self._params
)
)
return self._response
What I need to do (I think) is replicate that but for scroll, so that all the data returned is of the same type.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
