Hashes with Variable Keys

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I've got an interesting problem, where I am indexing data that contains a
field which looks like:

"tag_tree": {

"project1": {

"topic1": ["axis1"]

},

"project2": {

"topic2": ["axis1","axis2"],

"topic3": ["axis2", "axis3"]

}

}

The difficulty arises that I need to be able to filter something like
{"term": {"tag_tree.project1.*": "axis1"}} - I have to be able to tell if
the axis exists in any of the arrays contained by any of the topics in the
hash.

I don't know if I need to make this possible via a mapping change, or a
specific filter structure, or some combination of the two.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Chris Tembreull

If you take "tag_tree" as index, "project" as the type, and "topic" as doc
id, you can set up a field "axis" with values of either 1,2, or 3, and you
can filter accordingly.

An alternative would be a composite key of tag_tree, project, topic as doc
id.
