带有自定义@Query注释的Spring-Data弹性搜索回购计数不起作用“预期1，但找到30个结果”

Question

For my application I have to perform a custom count on elastic, I want to use the @Query annotation for this in the ElasticsearchCrudRepository we use. When I use the following signature:

@Query("CUSTOM BOOL QUERY HERE")
long countItemsCustom();

This leads to a java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Expected 1 but found 30 results Exception since it is executed as an query instead of an count. For spring-data-cassandra we have a special @CountQuery annotation to solve this issue. Is there a similar solution in spring-data-elasticsearch ?

I could use the elastic client or template to perform a custom query and get the results, but I prefer using the existing repository interface for this if possible.

No, that's not possible at the moment. The ElasticsearchStringQuery class checks the return type of the method that is annotated with the @Query annotation and then executes the ElasticsearchOperations.queryFor...() method that is appropriate for the method's return type. These are queries for data and not for the count.

I created an issue in the Spring Data Elasticsearch Jira to have this feature added.
