Hi Everyone,

I am trying to solve a problem in elastic search and confused if I am thinking correct way.

I have indexed sample set of resumes.

I am trying to solve the problems like:

1. find resume with experience 5 years or range 5-7 years. (also trying to create a new field called experience which can be used in my UI. so any new documents will automatically have the new field)
2. find resume with primary skill as JAVA.(same here a new field called skill which can be used as filter in my UI)

I am pretty new to elasticsearch and thinking how to approach to solve these problems.

appreciate your inputs.

Thanks,  
Manideep
