An issue with must_not clause

Jan_Palko · March 19, 2012, 2:26pm

Hi,

We are using elastisearch for sports events which requires geoblocking due
to rights. Below is final filter from Java API. I removed parts which are
not needed for this issue.

{
"filter" : {
"and" : {
"filters" : [ {
"query" : {
"bool" : {
"should" : [ {
"bool" : {
"must" : [ {
"term" : {
"blockByDefault" : true
}
}, {
"term" : {
"allowedCountryCodes" : "it"
}
} ]
}
}, {
"bool" : {
"must" : {
"term" : {
"blockByDefault" : false
}
},
"must_not" : {
"term" : {
"blockedCountryCodes" : "it"
}
}
}
} ],
"minimum_number_should_match" : 1
}
}
} ]
}
}
}

When blockByDefault is set to true, then it should behave as whitelist (allow
only countries defined in allowedCountryCodes), otherwise blacklist (block
only countries defined in blockedCountryCodes).

Here is the mapping:

{
"event" : {
"properties" : {
"blockByDefault" : {"type" : "boolean", "store" : "yes", "index" :
"not_analyzed"},
"allowedCountryCodes" : {"type" : "string", "store" : "yes", "index"
: "not_analyzed"},
"blockedCountryCodes" : {"type" : "string", "store" : "yes", "index"
: "not_analyzed"}
}
}
}

Here is test data:

{"blockByDefault" : true, "allowedCountryCodes" : ["gb", "sk"], "blockedCountryCodes"
: ["it", "sk"]}

{"blockByDefault" : true, "allowedCountryCodes" : ["gb", "sk"], "blockedCountryCodes"
: ["it", "sk"]}
{"blockByDefault" : false, "allowedCountryCodes" : ["gb", "sk"], "blockedCountryCodes"
: ["it", "sk"]}
{"blockByDefault" : false, "allowedCountryCodes" : ["gb", "sk"], "blockedCountryCodes"
: ["it", "sk"]}
{"blockByDefault" : false, "allowedCountryCodes" : ["gb", "sk"], "blockedCountryCodes"
: ["it", "sk"]}

Expected number of results for the following countries are as follows:

gb 5
de 3
sk 2
it 0 - this is problem, as it returns 3 results (the ones with
blockByDefault set to false) instead of 0.

Everything works except the last case, when all events should be blocked
from Italy, but it doesn't work here.

I've tried to rewrite it in other ways, but still the same results. I've
also tried to filter the events where there is Italy in blockedCountryCodes
and it worked, but then when I added blockByDefault "switch", it returned
bad results. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

You are using default analyzer.
"It" is a common english word which is ignored.

Applying a keyword mapping (with lowercase filter) should solve your issue.

Many Thanks It works. But it's strange that I had tried to set index to
not_analyzed and it didn't work and now does.

One more thing, you are using a filter, and then wrap it with a query, its
a shame, you should use filters all the way in this case (bool filter, with
term filters for example).

Is there any impact on performance? When I use just a query, it's
slower as it does scoring. Is it the same when I use it inside filter?

Thanks

If you transform the internal query in the filter to be based on filters,
then you will gain the benefits of filter caching. Scoring will not be
computed in any case.
