Hi,

I'm using a custom score query for fetching my results from elasticsearch.  
I used a popularity "po" field for modifying \_script parameter but somehow  
it's not working. I used explain parameter to see how the score is getting  
caluclated but my problem is it doesn't seem to take po into consideration  
while calculating score. I have printed the score calculation for two docs.  
Both have same scores but po field is different for both. Can anyone tell  
me where am I going wrong ?

I'm using the following custom score query in my java code:-  
String script = "\_score \* (doc['po'].empty ? 1 : doc['po'].value ==  
0.0 ? 1 : doc['po'].value)";  
QueryBuilder queryBuilder = QueryBuilders.customScoreQuery(  
QueryBuilders.queryString(query)  
.field("text",30)  
.field("ad")  
.field("st")  
.field("cn")  
.field("co")

.defaultOperator(Operator.AND)).script(script);

Coder,

Your query is probably working properly. The explain does not show your  
custom score script logic but it should still be working as expected. You  
can verify it easily by changing your script logic. For example:

Try:

String script = "doc['po'].empty ? 1000 : doc['po'].value";

And you'll see that the actual score of the document is the value of your  
po field. (or 1000 if it doesn't exist).

But why am I getting exactly same score for two documents even though their  
po field hase different values. If I'm multiplying my score by this value  
the resultant value should be different for two, why am I getting same  
scores then ?

Also, here is my mapping looks like:

I hope I'm not doing anything wrong in my mapping for po field.

just an update: I'm using default similarity only. Ignore that  
customsimilarity line.

Just to clarify, can you post the scores of the 2 documents in question:

1. script = "\_score"

2. script = "doc['po'].value"

Just curious to see the actual values.

Binh,

I'm not able to access po field. It's giving me error:

Caused by: [Error: could not access: value; in class:  
org.elasticsearch.index.fielddata.ScriptDocValues$Empty]  
[Near : {... doc['po'].value ....}]

I think that is the reason why my score is always same. Everytime, it is  
taking it as empty though all my docs contains this field. I have also  
added it in my mapping. Can you please tell me why it is behaving like this  
?
