Field_value_factor on a nested field value

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi - I have an index with a nested array of objects that represent how tenants (in a multitenant app) relate to each item, and I want to boost (I'm thinking via field_value_factor?) using values in those fields. So, example data:

{
  id: "1",
  body: "document content #1",
  tenant_stats: [
    {
      tenant_id: 1,
      views: 245
    },
    {
      tenant_id: 2,
      views: 145
    }
  ]
},
{
  id: "2",
  body: "document content #2",
  tenant_stats: [
    {
      tenant_id: 1,
      views: 43
    },
    {
      tenant_id: 2,
      views: 5789
    }
  ]
}

So in this case I'd want to make queries from tenant 1 prioritize document 1 above 2, since it has more views from them and is therefore more popular, and vice versa for tenant 2. Is this easily doable?

Thanks!

Yes you want to use field_value_factor using views to boost the score. You may want to use nested documents, if you want to keep the relevance between tenant_id and views. See this recent post about a similar question:
