Error while retrieving an object field

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

In the documents that I index, I have a field of 'object' type.
Mapped as follows.

  "price" : {
    "type" : "object",
    "dynamic" : true,
    "enabled" : true,
    "store" : true,
    "include_in_all": false
  },

The documents will have different keys for this as follows. These may
be fixed or varying.
'price' : {
'us' : 1.0,
'uk' : 2.0
}

My requirement, is that while querying, I need the price field as-is
by specifying
the "fields" option. In this example, I give -
fields=price

However, I get the error:
reason: "FetchPhaseExecutionException[[index_name][0]:
query[_all:a],from[0],size[10]: Fetch Failed [No mapping for field
[price]]]

Is it possible to retrieve an object, in the JSON format as is ? Or am
I doing it incorrectly ?

I do not want to retrieve the entire '_source' for getting just the
"price" fields within it.

Mahendra

Its not possible currently. There is a feature request to allow to return
parts of the _source json (as well as use it for highlighting).

Hi,

I guess the latest commit (349) adds this feature. Thanks a lot :slight_smile:

I have one doubt regarding the "script_fields" option. I guess it is
not available through the URI request method.

Also is it possible to obtain the object via the "fields" option ?
By specifying

fields=...,...,doc.price OR
fields=...,...,_source.price

No, only through the script fields. What are you missing, the option to
provide script fields in the URI of a GET request.

Hi,

Currently, my Elasticsearch setup is accessed through GET requests.
The returned fields are specified through the "fields" option in the
GET URI.

It would be good if I can specify the object field also in the GET
request and return the JSON format of the object field.

Alternately, I can make use of providing the script fields in the URI
of a GET request, if it is possible.

Open an issue request, they can be added to the URI option as well. I think
that you are missing a lot of functionality by just using the search with
URI option. There shouldn't really be a problem providing a body in the
search request, no?

Hi,

I have opened an issue request for this (#357).

Yes, I know that I am missing on quite a lot of functionality by using
just the URI option, but this is used in clients which have very
limited resources. The more powerful clients use the query API.

I have exposed the URI to very tiny embedded devices which need to
query Elasticsearch. The search URI is a simple option for them.

Another reason is, by using the "fields" API, the output of
Elasticsearch can be made very similar to the output of couchdb views.
So, clients accessing couchdb and elasticsearch can have the same
format for accessing data.

The problem with using fields is that I can't tell between ones that try and
fetch a stored field, compared to script fields that will result in getting
the source... .

'price' : {
'us' : 1.0,

My requirement, is that while querying, I need the price field
as-is
by specifying
the "fields" option. In this example, I give -
fields=price

However, I get the error:
reason: "FetchPhaseExecutionException[[index_name][0]:
query[_all:a],from[0],size[10]: Fetch Failed [No mapping for
field
[price]]]

Is it possible to retrieve an object, in the JSON format as is
?
Or
am
I doing it incorrectly ?

I do not want to retrieve the entire '_source' for getting just
the
"price" fields within it.

ok, was wrong about not being able to identify it, it actually can be
identified quite simply. Revised your issue you opened to this:
Search API: Automatically identify "script" fields on the field elements in search · Issue #357 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub. Have
something already running locally, will push later today.

Hi,

I have opened an issue request for this (#357).

Yes, I know that I am missing on quite a lot of functionality by using
just the URI option, but this is used in clients which have very
limited resources. The more powerful clients use the query API.

I have exposed the URI to very tiny embedded devices which need to
query Elasticsearch. The search URI is a simple option for them.

Another reason is, by using the "fields" API, the output of
Elasticsearch can be made very similar to the output of couchdb views.
So, clients accessing couchdb and elasticsearch can have the same
format for accessing data.

Hi,

Currently, my Elasticsearch setup is accessed through GET requests.
The returned fields are specified through the "fields" option in the
GET URI.

It would be good if I can specify the object field also in the GET
request and return the JSON format of the object field.

Alternately, I can make use of providing the script fields in the
URI
of a GET request, if it is possible.
