Multiple Count queries

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

If I need to find counts of user's posts, comments, etc... and each
such item is a separate type with userId field, can I get such
information using just one query?
Because currently, I need to run several requests for each type
(posts, comments, etc.).
Something like this:

public long countPostsByUserId(String userId)throws IOException{
FilteredQueryBuilder q = QueryBuilders.filteredQuery(
QueryBuilders.matchAllQuery(),
FilterBuilders.termFilter("userId", userId)
);
SearchResponse response = clientProvider.getClient()
.prepareSearch("myIndex")
.setSearchType(SearchType.COUNT).setQuery(q).setTypes("post")
.execute().actionGet();
return response.getHits().getTotalHits();
}

And if I have many such types, this become a bottleneck. Specially if
I need to find such counts for many users at once.

Please advice. Any info is appreciated.

Thank you,
Eugene S.

You can do this with the Count API: Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic

I'm not familiar with the Java API, but with the REST API you could do
this:

$ curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/user/post,comment/_count' -d '
{
"term" : { "userId" : "foo" }
}'

What are you after? Counts of type per userId? You can use a match all query, and have global scoped facets of type filter that would return counts per filter you have (which can use term filter _type, term filter on userId, or a bool filter on both).

@kimchy : I have similar problem, in one of my projects, I have a field
called 'userId' in three index types, I need to write a facet query for
getting counts of a particular userId in specific index type. Can you give
an example
for the query you are suggesting?
