_count in Kibana 4.3.1 returns 404 Not Found

[taraslayshchuk]

Hi!

I am using Kibana 4.3.1 and Elasticsearch 2.1.1.
When I try to count documents like its descibed it Count API Docs I get {"statusCode":404,"error":"Not Found"}

$ curl -XPOST 'localhost/elasticsearch/logstash-2015.11.11/log/_count' -d '{ "query": { "term": { "cluster": "c1" }}}' --header "kbn-version:4.3.1"
{"statusCode":404,"error":"Not Found"}
$ curl -XPOST 'localhost/elasticsearch/logstash-2015.11.11/_count' -d '{ "query": { "term": { "cluster": "c1" }}}' --header "kbn-version:4.3.1"
{"statusCode":404,"error":"Not Found"}

XGET returns just nothing

$ curl -XGET 'localhost/elasticsearch/logstash-2015.11.11/log/_count' -d '{ "query": { "term": { "cluster": "c1" }}}' --header "kbn-version:4.3.1"
^C

But search returns proper values

$ curl -XPOST 'localhost/elasticsearch/logstash-2015.11.11/_search' -d '{ "query": { "term": { "cluster": "c1" }}}' --header "kbn-version:4.3.1"
{"took":1,"timed_out":false,"_shards":{"total":5,"successful":5,"failed":0},"hits":{"total":16490,"max_score":2.7392588,"hits":[{"_index":"logstash-2015.11.11","_type":"log","_id":"AVH3Gz3a5TjNLP8D_WhF","_score":2.7392588,"_source":{.....}}}

But only without docs type

$ curl -XPOST 'localhost/elasticsearch/logstash-2015.11.11/log/_search' -d '{ "query": { "term": { "cluster": "c1" }}}' --header "kbn-version:4.3.1"
{"statusCode":404,"error":"Not Found"}

And if I use string query syntax it works good

$ curl -XGET 'localhost/elasticsearch/logstash-2015.11.11/log/_count?q=cluster:c1' --header "kbn-version:4.3.1"
{"count":16490,"_shards":{"total":5,"successful":5,"failed":0}}

And it simply works in Kibana 4.1.1 in any way.

$ curl -XGET 'localhost/elasticsearch/logstash-2015.11.11/log/_count?q=cluster:c1' 
{"count":16490,"_shards":{"total":5,"successful":5,"failed":0}}
$ curl -XGET 'localhost/elasticsearch/logstash-2015.11.11/_count?q=cluster:c1' 
{"count":16490,"_shards":{"total":5,"successful":5,"failed":0}}
$ curl -XGET 'localhost/elasticsearch/logstash-2015.11.11/log/_count' -d '{ "query": { "term": { "cluster": "c1" }}}' 
{"count":16490,"_shards":{"total":5,"successful":5,"failed":0}}
$ curl -XGET 'localhost/elasticsearch/logstash-2015.11.11/_count' -d '{ "query": { "term": { "cluster": "c1" }}}' 
{"count":16490,"_shards":{"total":5,"successful":5,"failed":0}}
$ curl -XGET 'localhost/elasticsearch/logstash-2015.11.11/log/_search' -d '{ "query": { "term": { "cluster": "c1" }}}' 
{"took":10,"timed_out":false,"_shards":{"total":5,"successful":5,"failed":0},"hits":{"total":16490,"max_score":2.7392588,"hits":[{"_index":"logstash-2015.11.11","_type":"log","_id":"AVH3Gz3a5TjNLP8D_WhF","_score":2.7392588,"_source":{...}}}
$ curl -XGET 'localhost/elasticsearch/logstash-2015.11.11/_search' -d '{ "query": { "term": { "cluster": "c1" }}}' 
{"took":2,"timed_out":false,"_shards":{"total":5,"successful":5,"failed":0},"hits":{"total":16490,"max_score":2.7392588,"hits":[{"_index":"logstash-2015.11.11","_type":"log","_id":"AVH3Gz3a5TjNLP8D_WhF","_score":2.7392588,"_source":{....}

So what changed in 4.3.1? And where documentation for this? Maybe it's just bug and should be fixed?

The kibana server implements a filtered proxy to elasticsearch but it is only exposed for Kibana to make specific requests and doesn't expose the entire elasticsearch API. It is also undocumented and I don't recommend depending on it.
