Elasticsearch return all documents of a given type

Question

I have been searching for a solution to this question for a few days. Use case is to simply see the documents of a particular type only. Usually after googling for a long time I end up with some search queries with wildcards. I have gone through many SO Posts like this, this and elastic documentation also. I tried below urls but without any luck.

curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/analytics/test/_search' -d '
{

   "query" : {
   "match_all" : {}
    }
}'

curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/analytics/test/_search' -d '
{
    "query": {
        "type":{
            "value": "test"
            }
    }
}'

Is there something like a wild card search on a document type to return all documents of that specific doc_type?

Answer 1

To get all documents from index analytics from type test just run:

curl -XGET localhost:9200/analytics/test/_search

or

curl -XGET localhost:9200/analytics/test/_search -d '{
    "query": {"match_all" : {}}
}'

If you have count of users more than default size value, you need provide from/size values like described here.
