Facet Filter Confusion

Karussell_2 · January 10, 2013, 5:21pm

Hi,

I just want to apply a filter to the query AND to the facets. When I do:

{"query":{"query_string":{"query":"userinput someField:someValue"}}

several facets!
}

this works and is fast!

But I hoped to make it even faster when doing a filtered query which could
be better cached (!?). So I tried:

{"query":{
"filtered": {
"query":{"query_string": {"query":"userinput"}},
"filter":{ "term":{"someField":"someValue"}}
}}

several facets!
}

which is at least 10 times slower on my machine** for my index.
Is it because the filtered part will be called after the facets have been
executed?
bigdesk shows enough free RAM

I think I could probably put the filter into every facet via facet_filter to
make it cached and fast,
but is it really that complicated?

Regards,
Peter.

Hey,

forgot to post the solution here. First, the provided information was not
sufficient, sorry.
We had a combined "and" filter which was causing the slow response.
(A simple term filter is still 2 times faster then the query_string
equivalent)

But the thing with the "and" filter was still strange. And we fixed it. We
just replaced the "and" with a "bool" filter (must). Now 3 times faster!

Why are they so different?

Regards,
Peter.

The boolean filter can use the cached term bitsets and the and/or/not
filters don't.

Hi Matt,

thanks! But is there an advantage of the and/or/not filters?

Regards,
Peter.

Hi Peter

thanks! But is there an advantage of the and/or/not filters?

and/or process doc-by-doc, so they are useful for filters which don't
produce bitsets, especially if they are also heavy filters. For
instance, if you have a geo-distance filter, put it as the last filter
in an and|or clause
