I am using a filteredQuery and I was wondering whether it does any caching of either the interior query or the filter. For example if I do (in java) QueryBuilders.filteredQuery(query, filterBuilder) is the result of the filter applied to the query cached (or is anything cached in that scenario)? ---

Hi, this depends a bit on the version of ES you are using and also on the type of query that is wrapped as a filter. As a general guideline most "leaf filters" (those directly targeting a field in your documents) are cached in 1.x with some noteable exceptions described [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/1.x/filter-caching.html). In 2.x the caching behaviour is more automatic to avoid overcaching. See this [blog post](https://www.elastic.co/blog/better-query-execution-coming-elasticsearch-2-0) for some detailed explanations. ---
