Hi all,

I'm having some difficulties running queries with multiple nested filters.  
Consider the following mapping:

{  
"template" : "products",  
"mappings" : {  
"Product" : {  
"dynamic" : "false",  
"properties" : {  
"id" : {  
"type" : "long"  
},  
"name" : {  
"type" : "string",  
"analyzer" : "standard"  
},  
"reviews" : {  
"type" : "nested",  
"dynamic" : "false",  
"properties" : {  
"positive" : {  
"type" : "nested",  
"dynamic" : "false",  
"properties" : {  
"reviewCount" : {  
"type" : "integer"  
},  
"keywords" : {  
"type" : "nested",  
"dynamic" : "false",  
"properties" : {  
"id" : {  
"type" : "long"  
},  
"name" : {  
"type" : "string",  
"analyzer" : "standard"  
},  
"score": {  
"type": "double"  
},  
"frequency": {  
"type": "integer"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
},  
"negative" : {  
"type" : "nested",  
"dynamic" : "false",  
"properties" : {  
"reviewCount" : {  
"type" : "integer"  
},  
"keywords" : {  
"type" : "nested",  
"dynamic" : "false",  
"properties" : {  
"id" : {  
"type" : "long"  
},  
"name" : {  
"type" : "string",  
"analyzer" : "standard"  
},  
"score": {  
"type": "double"  
},  
"frequency": {  
"type": "integer"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

Running the following query:

NestedFilterBuilder idFilter = nestedFilter( "reviews.positive.keywords",  
filteredQuery( matchAllQuery(), termFilter( "reviews.positive.keywords.id",  
id ) ) );  
NestedFilterBuilder scoreFilter = nestedFilter(  
"reviews.positive.keywords", filteredQuery( matchAllQuery(), rangeFilter(  
"reviews.positive.keywords.score" ).from( score ).includeLower( true ) ) );

RangeFilterBuilder productScoreFilter = rangeFilter( "score" ).from(  
productScore ).includeLower( true );

SearchResponse searchResponse = esClient.prepareSearch( "products" ).  
setQuery( filteredQuery( matchAllQuery(), andFilter( productScoreFilter,  
idFilter, scoreFilter ) ) ).  
setSize( 40000 ).  
get();

The returned hits contain results with wrong score, i.e. score lower than  
what configured at scoreFilter. Seems like other filters are working  
perfect. Am I using the wrong way to apply multiple nested filters?

Thanks!

The following works, although I'm not sure why the previous query didn't..

AndFilterBuilder keywordFilter = andFilter( termFilter(  
"reviews.positive.keywords.id", id ), rangeFilter(  
"reviews.positive.keywords.score" ).from( score ).includeLower( true ) );

NestedFilterBuilder nestedKeywordFilter = nestedFilter(  
"reviews.positive.keywords", filteredQuery( matchAllQuery(), keywordFilter  
) );

RangeFilterBuilder productScoreFilter = rangeFilter( "score" ).from(  
productScore ).includeLower( true );

SearchResponse searchResponse = esClient.prepareSearch( "products" ).  
setQuery( filteredQuery( matchAllQuery(), andFilter( productScoreFilter,  
nestedKeywordFilter ) ) ).  
setSize( 40000 ).  
get();
