IndexOutOfBoundsException when try to map inner hits with no results returned

[xhaggi]

Configuring inner_hits with a size of 0 will result in an IndexOutOfBoundsException when mapping inner hits.

Maybe, this is thrown out here:
org.springframework.data.elasticsearch.core.SearchHitMapping#mapInnerDocuments
[line:202] NestedMetaData nestedMetaData = searchHits.getSearchHit(0).getContent().getNestedMetaData();

[xhaggi]

@AntonLGVS the stacktrace is clear enough to know what the root cause is. I have already created a pull request and fixed this problem.

backported to 4.3. Did not backport to 4.2 and 4.1 because the test cannot be backported there as NativeSearchQueryBuilder.withCollapseBuilder was introduced in 4.3

[xhaggi]

IMO we should adjust the test for 4.2, 4.1 because the issue also exists in these versions.

[xhaggi]

We could use a nested query with inner hits [1] instead of collapse to test the issue.

[sothawo]

Can you please cherrypick the commit from 4.3 to 4.2 and adjust the test then? And then further cherrypick from 4.2 to 4.1?

[xhaggi]

Sure will do that tomorrow.

[xhaggi]

Backported to 4.2.x and 4.1.x.

thanks a lot
