Searching in arrays of subtypes

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello,

sorry if this question was already answered, but I havent found any
answer on my problem.

Example:
I have a database of school with classes and kids. Each class have name,
year ... and an array of subobjects - kids.

...
{

name: "A",

year: "2",

kids: [

{ firstName: "Peter", lastName: "Jackson"}

]

},
{

name: "B",
year: "1",
kids: [

{ firstName: "Peter", lastName: "Pan"},

{ firstName: "Michael", lastName: "Jackson"}

]

}
...

The data are nice stored (indexed) in elastic search, everything seems to
be OK.
So now here is the Question...
*
*
Find classes where "Peter Jackson" ist.

So my query:

{
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": [
{
"field": {
"kids.firstName": "Peter"
}
},
{
"field": {
"kids.lastName": "Jackson"
}
}
]
}
}
}

The response ist Class A and Class B. (Because kids.firstName in B has
Peter and kids.lastName in B has Jackson)

How can I do it to get just Class A???

  1. Scripting?
    -for example: for (kid in kids) { kid.firstName = "Peter" AND
    kid.lastName = "Jackson"}
  2. Parent/Child types?
  • means extract kids in other type
  1. ???

Please provide some testing/example code.

thanks!
Matus
