Do I need to wrap a MissingField Filter inside a bool filter?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Reading

it looks like the bool filter is the way to go when using a certain
combination of filters.

But what if it's only one filter, which is cached, and presumably a
bitset filter?

I'm talking about the "MissingField" filter.

should this

{
"bool": {
"must": {
{ "missing": {"field": "out_of_stock", "existence": True}}
}
}
}

performs better than

{
"missing": {
"field": "out_of_stock",
"existence": True
}
}

I just got a bit confused with the blog post. I think they both should
perform the same.

uh, oh.

The missing filter should be cached by default if that's what you wanted to
know:

http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-missing-filter.html

So no need to bool it if that's what you're worried about.

just for the purpose of clarification.

the "bitset" feature is equivalent to the "cacheable" feature. the AND/OR
filters can't cache its results since they always have to compare to other
docs , but if a filter can be "translated" into a bitset, then it can be
"saved" for future references, and that doc hasn't to be examined again in
order to see if complies with the filter, but a single look at its bitset
records should be enough.

Indeed there is no need to wrap a missing filter inside of a bool filter
and execution performance would be exactly the same.

What you just said about filters is correct.
