\*\*

> engine\_log\_id have multiple values, but sometimes single value also. My concern needs to get only multiple values only not single. Refer above example.

Requesting to anyone help on this.

Assume field 'engine\_id' is keyword data type, you can use following DSL to get only multiple-value documents.

```
{
        "query": {
            "bool" : {
                "filter" : {
                    "script" : {
                        "script" : {
                            "source" : "doc['engine_id'].length>1"
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
```
