Hi,  
I have an index named product in elastic search. Each document contains an attribute field. This is shown below.  
{  
"category": "xyx",  
"name": "product-1",  
"attribute": [  
{  
"unit": "mm",  
"name": "Length",  
"value": "10"  
},  
{  
"unit": "",  
"name": "Color",  
"value": "Orange"  
},  
{  
"unit": "cm",  
"name": "Width",  
"value": "34"  
}  
]  
}

{  
"category": "xyz",  
"name": "product-2",  
"attribute": [  
{  
"unit": "mm",  
"name": "Length",  
"value": "20"  
},  
{  
"unit": "",  
"name": "Color",  
"value": "Red"  
},  
{  
"unit": "cm",  
"name": "Width",  
"value": "45"  
}  
]  
}

I want to get all attributes whose value be like  
{"Length": [10,20],"Color": ["Orange","Red"], "width": [34,45]

Also need the unit of each attribute name. Can anyone help me to solve this problem?

In ElasticSearch query work based on field name and as i know it is not possible to query using field value, what i mean is here colour, width and length is your field value and not field name.

For resolving you can denormlize your data before indexing into elasticsearch like below:

```auto
{
	"category": "xyz",
	"name": "product-2",
	"length": {
		"value": "20",
		"unit": "mm"
	},
	"Color": "Red",
	"Width": {
		"unit": "cm",
		"value": "45"
	}
}

```

Then you can query your data like this:

```auto
{
  "query": {
  "bool": {
    "must": [
      {
        "terms": {
          "length.value": [
            "10",
            "20"
          ]
        }
      },
      {
        "terms": {
          "Color": [
            "Orange",
            "Red"
          ]
        }
      },
      {
        "terms": {
          "Width": [
            "34",
            "45"
          ]
        }
      }
    ]
  }
  }
}

```

Here, I have used boolean query but you can do same using filter query as well if you dont want to cosider this fields while calculating relvancy score.
