Why does this ElasticSearch scan and scroll returns IndexMissingException

Question

I run the following:

curl -XGET 'http://my_address/my_index/_search?scroll=1m&size=10&search_type=scan' -d '{'query':{'match_all':{}}}'

It returns a scroll id (very long), and I then use in the first scroll request:

curl -XGET 'http://my_address/my_index/_search/scroll?scroll=1m' -d '<scroll_id>'

It returns an error: {"error":"IndexMissingException[[my_index] missing]","status":404}

What is going on?

Because your second request (i.e. using the scroll_id) should not take any index and read like this instead:

curl -XGET 'http://my_address/_search/scroll?scroll=1m' -d '<scroll_id>'
