== Count API
|
||
|
|
||
|
The count API allows to easily execute a query and get the number of
|
||
|
matches for that query. It can be executed across one or more indices
|
||
|
and across one or more types. The query can be provided using the
|
||
|
link:{ref}/query-dsl.html[Query DSL].
|
||
|
|
||
|
[source,java]

CountResponse response = client.prepareCount("test")

.setQuery(termQuery("_type", "type1"))

.execute()

=== Operation Threading
|
||
|
|
||
|
The count API allows to set the threading model the operation will be
|
||
|
performed when the actual execution of the API is performed on the same
|
||
|
node (the API is executed on a shard that is allocated on the same
|
||
|
server).
|
||
|
|
||
|
There are three threading modes.The `NO_THREADS` mode means that the
|
||
|
count operation will be executed on the calling thread. The
|
||
|
`SINGLE_THREAD` mode means that the count operation will be executed on
|
||
|
a single different thread for all local shards. The `THREAD_PER_SHARD`
|
||
|
mode means that the count operation will be executed on a different
|
||
|
thread for each local shard.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The default mode is `SINGLE_THREAD`.
