Multivalued field

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi,

How elasticsearch handles a multivalued field? Like authors field? The
content is initially a comma separated list from which I would like to
split the values and then use in a facet?

It's an array type:

I think I did not understand your concern.

An answer is perhaps to use the _analyze API to see how ES will break your field into tokens.

Does it help?
Or could you elaborate a bit more?

I think I know what he wants. If you can get the frequency (not just
presence) of the words within the document and you can get the total
frequency of words within the corpus, then you can use that to get the
weight of each word and use that to do a statistical comparison of two
documents to see if they match. Its very fast and can be used for things
like near-deduplication. You can even do things like set up a medical
corpus and a legal corpus and figure out reliably where a new document
belongs.

I think you give me a direction David, I just need to split something like
"Author 1, Author 2" into several terms to use in my facet.

As far I could see the pattern tokenizer can help me to do that instead of
set an array to my author field.
