How to retrieve specific _source inner fields

Hi,

I am trying to understand how to select the name of the fields to
return. I have read around but could not find an example for this,
though I have seen that it is a recent feature (https://github.com/
elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/issue/562).

For example I have a document :

http://localhost:9200/features/Feature/PFA0005w:pep
{
_index: "features",
_type: "Feature",
_id: "PFA0005w:pep",
_source: {
uniqueName: "PFA0005w:pep"
...
coordinates: [
{
region: "Pf3D7_01",
fmin: 29733,
fmax: 37349,
phase: null,
strand: 0,
}
],
...
}
}

For which I would like to pull only its coordinates array. If I try :

http://localhost:9200/features/Feature/PFA0005w:pep?fields=_source.coordinates
{
error: "ElasticSearchException[No mapping for field
[_source.coordinates] in type [Feature]]"
}

Any help constructing the right request would be most appreciated.

Best, Giles.

This was fixed in master. Can you give it a whirl?

I have just tried it on the master, same result unfortunately. I attach the
log output and screenshots of the different requests.

Now I understand what happens. You use GET (which I missed) and not search. This feature is not enabled for get (getting by source fields), you can open an issue for this.
