Has_child query boost

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Is it possible to add a boost to a has_child query? I notice that the
documentation states that a constant_score is automatically wrapped
around has_child query, the constant_score includes a boost field but
does not seem to inherit from the has_child query.

What would be the best way to add a boost to the has_child query?

You can't set it now, but I added this option: Query DSL: Allow to set boost on has_child query · Issue #884 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub (simply place boost at the query). Another option is to wrap yourself an has_child filter with a constant_score query, and set the boost on the constant_score query.

Thanks Shay, wrapping the constant_score around the has_child worked a
treat. Originally i tried building from source to apply fix you
added, however i kept getting a unresolved dependencies for
org.jboss.netty#netty;3.2.4.Final: when running ./gradlew command.

Thanks again!

Great. Strange regarding netty, just cleared it from my local caches and it downloads fine.
