QueryPhaseExecutionException: Result window is too large Thrown for Search API

When paginating through a large set of search results using the search API (/service/rest/beta/search/ or /service/rest/beta/search/assets) a HTTP 500 error can be returned for the following reason:

 QueryPhaseExecutionException[Result window is too large, from + size must be less than or equal to: [10000] but was [10050]. See the scroll api for a more efficient way to request large data sets. This limit can be set by changing the [index.max_result_window] index level parameter.]; }

This is happening due to the default result window value of 10,000 for Elasticsearch being exceeded.

Expected:
Either limit search results when using the API and make it explicit to users that results have been/will be limited to n results (similar to NEXUS-10284) or enable all results to be returned for a given search when using the API.

Workaround:
Add the 'index.max_result_window' property in <nexus_install>/etc/fabric/elasticsearch.yml file and restart Nexus:

index.max_result_window: <some_integer_value_greater_than_10000>

Note: Increasing this value can result in an increase of heap usage.
