Cloning QueryBuilder

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hello,

What would be the best way to clone an AbtractQueryBuilder? I have a BoolQueryBuilder that I'd like to use as a filter as part of another query. I noticed that when I compose into another query later modify it, the formerly composed objects are also modified. But I'd like to make it stay at the time of composition. I figure cloning is one way to resolve this.

Looking at the Javadocs, it looks like copying may be possible with

  • AbstractQueryBuilder.toXContent(...) and .fromXContent(...)
  • AbstractQueryBuilder.toString() then use QueryBuilders.wrapperQuery(...)

But I'm not sure if this is the best way as I think this would serialize and deserialize unnecessarily.

Thank you.
