Queries with fields {...} don't return field with dot in their name

benq · July 1, 2014, 2:56pm

Hi all,

I have a query that specify the fields to be returned as described
here: http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-fields.html
However, it does not return the fields with a dot in their name, like
"response.user".

For example,
Ex:
{
"size": 1000,
"fields": ["@timestamp", "request", "response", "response.user",
"clientip"],
"query": {"match_all": {} },
"filter": {
"and": [
{ "range": { "@timestamp": { "from": ...

}
}

The timestamp, request, response and clientip fields are returned. The
response.user is not.

Any idea why?

Regards,
Benoît

Hello Vineeth,

the items that are indexed in elasticsearch really contains a field named
"response.user".

"_source": {
"clientip": "aaa.bbb.cccc.ddd",

"request": "http://aaaa.aa/bbbbb/ccccc",

"request.accept-encoding": "gzip, deflate", "request.accept-language":
"de-ch", "response.content-type": "text/html; charset=UTF-8",

 "response": 200,

"response.age": "0", "response.user": "userAAA", "@timestamp":
"2014-07-01T12:18:51.501+02:00", }

I realize there is an ambiguity between a field with a dot in its name and
a field of a child document. Should fields with dot in their name be
avoided?

Hello Ben ,

This is defenitely an ambiguity.

By request.user , in the usual case ES expects a data like

"request" : {
"user" : "vm"
}

Try "request.user" or something. Some mechanism to escape the dot.

Thanks
Vineeth
