Rollup Search API

Rollup Search uses the same SearchRequest that is used by the Search API but it is mostly for aggregations you should set the size to 0 and add aggregations like this:

SearchRequest request = new SearchRequest();
request.source(new SearchSourceBuilder()
    .size(0)
    .aggregation(new MaxAggregationBuilder("max_temperature")
        .field("temperature")));

When executing a SearchRequest in the following manner, the client waits for the SearchResponse to be returned before continuing with code execution:

SearchResponse response =
    client.rollup().search(request, RequestOptions.DEFAULT);

Synchronous calls may throw an IOException in case of either failing to parse the REST response in the high-level REST client, the request times out or similar cases where there is no response coming back from the server.

In cases where the server returns a 4xx or 5xx error code, the high-level client tries to parse the response body error details instead and then throws a generic ElasticsearchException and adds the original ResponseException as a suppressed exception to it.

Executing a SearchRequest can also be done in an asynchronous fashion so that the client can return directly. Users need to specify how the response or potential failures will be handled by passing the request and a listener to the asynchronous search method:

client.rollup().searchAsync(request, RequestOptions.DEFAULT, listener); 

The asynchronous method does not block and returns immediately. Once it is completed the ActionListener is called back using the onResponse method if the execution successfully completed or using the onFailure method if it failed. Failure scenarios and expected exceptions are the same as in the synchronous execution case.

A typical listener for search looks like:

listener = new ActionListener<SearchResponse>() {
    @Override
    public void onResponse(SearchResponse response) {
         
    }

    @Override
    public void onFailure(Exception e) {
        
    }
};

Rollup Search returns the same SearchResponse that is used by the Search API and everything can be accessed in exactly the same way. This will access the aggregation built by the example request above:

NumericMetricsAggregation.SingleValue maxTemperature =
        response.getAggregations().get("max_temperature");
assertThat(maxTemperature.value(), closeTo(49.0, .00001));
