We are getting a nullpointerexception at searchResponse.getHits().getHits(); I'm totally new to elastic search and don't know how it works but need to analyse this issue.

Let me know if it throws nullpointerexception in any case ? If it throws how to handle this ?

Looking at the code of InternalSearchResponse, it looks like hits gets initialised with SearchHits.empty() even if the response is empty.

For the other cases, it always gets initialised with new. You can have a look at the source code here.
