{  
"error": "[400] {"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"parsing\_exception","reason":"no [query] registered for [filtered]","line":1,"col":35}],"type":"parsing\_exception","reason":"no [query] registered for [filtered]","line":1,"col":35},"status":400}",  
"status": "Fail"  
}

I am new with ruby on rails, my ruby version is 2.3.1 and rails version is 4.2.4 as I am deploying my code in local system (development mode), everything work properly except elasticsearch.

I have install and try to mapping version of elasticserach 2.4.6, 5.0.0, 5.0.2 and also 5.6.3 but still I am getting above error in (postman) when I am passing my below query.

def build\_query  
ret = {  
size:10000,  
query: {  
filtered: {  
query: {  
bool: { must: [] }  
},  
filter: { bool: { must: [] } },  
}  
},  
post\_filter: { bool: { must: [] } },  
sort: {  
FieldLong: {  
order: "desc",  
missing: "\_last",  
ignore\_unmapped: true  
}  
}  
}

Are you executing this query against Elasticsearch 5 or 6? The `filtered` query was deprecated in version 2 of Elasticsearch, and does not exist in version 5 and later anymore. You will get this error if you try to use that query on version 5 or later.

Instead, use a `bool` query. [The documentation has an example on how to do that](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.6/query-dsl-filtered-query.html).

Best to create a new topic for that, as I'm not familiar with Rails.
