I've tried to upgrade the version of ES yesterday (from 1.1.1 to 1.3.1) and I have an Issue when I try to use a complexe query with Aggregation. Parse Failure [Expected [START\_OBJECT] under [filter], but got a [START\_ARRAY I've this bug since the version 1.2.0 (I've tried all the version after this version and I have this bug). My system is very complexe and this bug comes from a filter on a Aggregation. I don't have enough time to expose my mapping and all the needs to reproduce the bug sorry about that. For my application I'd to downgrade my version to 1.1.2 to have my project working well. I've opened an issue on Github and it was close I don't understand why ? I still have my issue... Here my query (in my Application I use the official php client of elastic search): { "index":"dailysnapshot\_201406", "type":"dailysnapshot", "body":{ ``` "size":0, "query":{ "filtered":{ "filter":{ "bool":{ "must":[ { "term":{ "is_mam":false } }, { "term":{ "datetime":"20140619" } } ], "_cache":true } } } }, "aggs":{ "x_book":{ "filter":[ { "term":{ "book.raw":"X" } } ], "aggs":{ "unrealised_x_sum":{ "sum":{ "field":"unrealised_change_aud" } }, "closed_x_sum":{ "sum":{ "field":"closed_profit_aud" } }, "ib_x_sum":{ "sum":{ "field":"agent_commission_aud" } }, "pnl_x_sum":{ "sum":{ "field":"daily_profit_aud" } } } }, "s_book":{ "filter":[ { "term":{ "book.raw":"S" } } ], "aggs":{ "unrealised_s_sum":{ "sum":{ "field":"unrealised_change_aud" } }, "closed_s_sum":{ "sum":{ "field":"closed_profit_aud" } }, "ib_s_sum":{ "sum":{ "field":"agent_commission_aud" } }, "pnl_s_sum":{ "sum":{ "field":"daily_profit_aud" } } } } } ``` } } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

This is incorrect: ``` "x_book":{ "filter":[ { "term":{ "book.raw":"X" } } ], ``` It should be ``` "x_book":{ "filter":{ { "term":{ "book.raw":"X" } } }, ``` So it's not an elasticsearch issue. It's an error in your code. That's why I closed your "issue". -- David 😉 Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs Le 7 août 2014 à 05:37, Vincent Gross [vincent.gross@pepperstone.com](mailto:vincent.gross@pepperstone.com) a écrit : I've tried to upgrade the version of ES yesterday (from 1.1.1 to 1.3.1) and I have an Issue when I try to use a complexe query with Aggregation.
