== Breaking changes in 2.1
This section discusses the changes that you need to be aware of when migrating
your application to Elasticsearch 2.1.
=== Search changes
==== `search_type=scan` deprecated
The `scan` search type has been deprecated. All benefits from this search
type can now be achieved by doing a scroll request that sorts documents in
`_doc` order, for instance:
[source,sh]
---------------
GET /my_index/_search?scroll=2m
{
"sort": [
"_doc"
]
}
---------------
Scroll requests sorted by `_doc` have been optimized to more efficiently resume
from where the previous request stopped, so this will have the same performance
characteristics as the former `scan` search type.

NOTE: If the request specifies aggregations, only the initial search response

[[scroll-scan]]
==== Efficient scrolling with Scroll-Scan
Deep pagination with <<search-request-from-size,`from` and `size`>> -- e.g.
`?size=10&from=10000` -- is very inefficient as (in this example) 100,000
sorted results have to be retrieved from each shard and resorted in order to
return just 10 results. This process has to be repeated for every page
requested.
The `scroll` API keeps track of which results have already been returned and
so is able to return sorted results more efficiently than with deep
pagination. However, sorting results (which happens by default) still has a
cost.
Normally, you just want to retrieve all results and the order doesn't matter.
Scrolling can be combined with the <<scan,`scan`>> search type to disable
any scoring or sorting and to return results in the most efficient way
possible. All that is needed is to add `search_type=scan` to the query string
of the initial search request:
NOTE: Scroll requests have optimizations that make them faster when the sort
order is `_doc`. If you want to iterate over all documents regardless of the
order, this is the most efficient option:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
curl 'localhost:9200/twitter/tweet/_search?scroll=1m&search_type=scan' <1> -d '
curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/_search?scroll=1m' -d '
{
"query": {
"match" : {
"title" : "elasticsearch"
}
"sort": [
"_doc"
}
}
'
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Setting `search_type` to `scan` disables sorting and makes scrolling
very efficient.
A scanning scroll request differs from a standard scroll request in four
ways:
* No score is calculated and sorting is disabled. Results are returned in
the order they appear in the index.
* Aggregations are not supported.
* The response of the initial `search` request will not contain any results in
the `hits` array. The first results will be returned by the first `scroll`
request.
* The <<search-request-from-size,`size` parameter>> controls the number of
results *per shard*, not per request, so a `size` of `10` which hits 5
shards will return a maximum of 50 results per `scroll` request.
If you want the scoring to happen, even without sorting on it, set the
`track_scores` parameter to `true`.
