Java API ES 0.90.9 Array (2 elements) in search result gets only one value in SearchHitField.getValues()

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

the json (logged with SearchResponse.toString()) of my search result looks
like this:
...
"title": "abc, cdf Systemfunktionen",
* "type": [*

  •              "abc",*

  •              "cdf"*

  •           ]*
         ...

so field: type is an array of 2 values.
Then in
SearchHitField.getValues().size()
I get only 1.
How to get both values "abc" and "cdf" from the SearchHitField so
SearchHitField.getValues().size() == 2
?

Please advice and many thanks in advance!

Martin

I guess you did not ask for specific fields in your query so only _source is returned by default.

You can get the full Json document back. Have a look at https://github.com/elasticsearchfr/hands-on/blob/answers/src/test/java/org/elasticsearchfr/handson/ex2/SearchTest.java#L392

Hi and thanks for the reply.

is returned by default.
No, I was specifying the fields to return. "type" was one of them.

You can get the full Json document back
Yes, this is where I saw what both values were in the search result. I just
wanted to stay "inside the API" and not
start to interpret the json of the search result myself. But if it has to
be...

If you want only some fields, you can use that: https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/action/search/SearchRequestBuilder.java#L415-415

Martin, I have verified this behavior and it still pesists in 0.90.10. I
checked the latest ES master build at it indeed returns 2 values in the
List as expected so I am expecting it to behave as you expect in ES 1.0.
For now, what it does is it returns a single item inside the List, but that
item is in turn an ArrayList of 2 String values. If you have only 1 value,
it returns a single item in the List, and that item is a String. So you can
test accordingly in code to check if the value is a String or an ArrayList
and then adjust accordingly. Should be rectified in 1.0 I hope. :slight_smile:

Thanks for the information. I still have some months till production, so
might workaround now and wait for ES 1.0. Anyone know then ES 1.0 is
planned to be release?

I've tested it with ES 1.1 and the described behaviour is gone. So the Java
API does a correct interpretation of the JSON search result.
