Hi:
I'm getting weird results when querying nested objects. Imagine the following structure:
{ owner.name = "fred",
...,
pets [
{ name = "daisy", ... },
{ name = "flopsy", ... }
]
}
If I only have the document shown above, and I search pets matching this criteria:
pets.name = "daisy" OR
(owner.name = "julie" and pet.name = "flopsy")
I would expect to only get one result ("daisy"), but I'm getting both pet names.
This is one way to reproduce this:
# Create nested mapping
PUT pet-owners
{
"mappings": {
"animals": {
"properties": {
"owner": {"type": "text"},
"pets": {
"type": "nested",
"properties": {
"name": {"type": "text", "fielddata": true}
}
}
}
}
}
}
# Insert nested object
PUT pet-owners/animals/1?op_type=create
{
"owner" : "fred",
"pets" : [
{ "name" : "daisy"},
{ "name" : "flopsy"}
]
}
# Query
GET pet-owners/_search
{ "from": 0, "size": 50,
"query": {
"constant_score": {
"filter": { "bool": {"must": [
{"bool": {"should": [
{"nested": {"query":
{"term": {"pets.name": "daisy"}},
"path":"pets",
"inner_hits": {
"name": "pets_hits_1",
"size": 99,
"_source": false,
"docvalue_fields": ["pets.name"]
}
}},
{"bool": {"must": [
{"term": {"owner": "julie"}},
{"nested": {"query":
{"term": {"pets.name": "flopsy"}},
"path":"pets",
"inner_hits": {
"name": "pets_hits_2",
"size": 99,
"_source": false,
"docvalue_fields": ["pets.name"]
}
}}
]}}
]}}
]}}}},
"_source": false
}
The query returns both pets names (as opposed to the expected one).
Is this behavior normal? Am I doing something wrong, or my reasoning about the nested structure or the query behavior is flawed?
Any help or guidance will be much appreciated.
