Query/Filter with range on multiple values inside sub-objects

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello,

we're storing multiple colors (r,g,b) per document and would like to
query for colors that are in specific range.

colors data looks like this:
colors: [
{
r: 96
g: 48
b: 48
}
{
r: 120
g: 72
b: 72
}

Now how would I query for rgb(96,48,48) with range? e.g. rgb(90-100,
45-50, 45-50).
rgb(96,72,72) should not match.

We appreciate any help.
Thanks

Hiya

we're storing multiple colors (r,g,b) per document and would like to
query for colors that are in specific range.

colors data looks like this:
colors: [
{
r: 96
g: 48
b: 48
}
{
r: 120
g: 72
b: 72
}

Now how would I query for rgb(96,48,48) with range? e.g. rgb(90-100,
45-50, 45-50).
rgb(96,72,72) should not match.

First, you need to map your 'colors' to be of type 'nested', not the
default type 'object'. This allows you to query each colors object
separately, otherwise all of your colors would be flattened to look
something like:

colors: {
r: [96,120],
b: [48,72],
g: [48,72]
}

Then, you can use a nested filter on your documents (of type eg
'my_type') as follows:

curl -XGET 'http://127.0.0.1:9200/_all/_search?pretty=1' -d '
{
"query" : {
"constant_score" : {
"filter" : {
"nested" : {
"path" : "my_type.colors",
"filter" : {
"and" : [
{
"range" : {
"r" : {
"lte" : 100,
"gte" : 90
}
}
},
{
"range" : {
"g" : {
"lte" : 50,
"gte" : 45
}
}
},
{
"range" : {
"b" : {
"lte" : 50,
"gte" : 45
}
}
}
]
}
}
}
}
}
}

Try something like:

"color.r: [90 TO 100] AND color.g: [45 TO 50] AND color.b: [45-50]"

in your query.

Here I'm giving the URI Request version since I'm not very familiar with
the JSON Query DSL, but finding the equivalent is very trivial.

Hope this will help!

Thanks Lyes, but I think Clint is right.
Your solution is matching rgb(96,72,72) which should not.

Will try Clints solution.

Thanks
