Setting parent attribute for child document with java api

Hi. I am having trouble trying to set the parent attribute for a child
document and was wondering if someone could suggest to me what i'm doing
wrong.

I have a type called "feedback" which I want to assign a parent attribute -
i want "feedback" to be a child of "content" - so i do the following:

curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/myindex/feedback/_mapping -d '

{

"feedback" : {

  •       "_parent" : {*
    
  •                 "type" : "content"*
    
  •                 }*
    
  •      }*
    

}'

My java code to insert a document of type "feedback" look like this:

IndexResponse response = _client.prepareIndex(INDEX, TYPE_FEEDBACK,
feedback.getFeedbackId()).setParent(""+feedback.getContentId()).setSource(feedbackJSON.toString())
.execute().actionGet();

I got back the response fine - and the response had the correct index,
type, and id.

However, If i try to fetch what i just inserted:

curl -XGET http://localhost:9200/myindex/feedback/${1}?pretty=true

I get nothing:

{

  • "_index" : "myindex",*

  • "_type" : "feedback",*

  • "_id" : "3860",*

  • "exists" : false*

}

If I examine the mapping, I think it looks ok:

curl -XGET http://localhost:9200/myindex/feedback/_mapping

{"feedback":{"_parent":{"type":"content"},"_routing":{"required":true},"properties":{"cid":{"type":"long"},"cmi":{"type":"long"},"cp":{"type":"long"},"ct":{"type":"long"},"cwn":{"type":"long"},"dur":{"type":"long"},"fee":{"type":"long"},"ia":{"type":"long"},"ito":{"type":"long"},"mir":{"type":"long"},"mvd":{"type":"long"},"mvt":{"type":"long"},"n":{"type":"string"},"own":{"type":"long"},"pdt":{"type":"long"},"sav":{"type":"string"},"td":{"type":"long"}}}}

If just search for all id's for that type, I do see the entry:

curl http://localhost:9200/myindex/feedback/_search?pretty=true -d '

*{ *

  • "query" : { *

  •    "match_all" : {} *
    
  • },*

  • "fields": []*

}

'

{

  • "took" : 13,*

  • "timed_out" : false,*

  • "_shards" : {*

  • "total" : 5,*

  • "successful" : 5,*

  • "failed" : 0*

  • },*

  • "hits" : {*

  • "total" : 3,*

  • "max_score" : 1.0,*

  • "hits" : [ {*

  •  "_index" : "myindex",*
    
  •  "_type" : "feedback",*
    
  •  "_id" : "1_3858",*
    
  •  "_score" : 1.0*
    
  • }, {*

  •  "_index" : "myindex",*
    
  •  "_type" : "feedback",*
    
  •  "_id" : "1_3859",*
    
  •  "_score" : 1.0*
    
  • }, {*

  •  "_index" : "myindex",*
    
  •  "_type" : "feedback",*
    
  •  "_id" : "3860",*
    
  •  "_score" : 1.0*
    
  • } ]*

  • }*

}

Could someone tell me what I could be missing? This is version 0.90

Many thanks,
Ed

Parly resolved! My problem was that I need to specify the routing. With
Parent-Child, routing becomes required.

However, even though i'm able to see my documents again, the "_parent"
attribute doesn't seem to show up when I query a doc. Do I need to
configure the parent type somehow for it to work? I simply modified the
mapping of the child type to include _parent. When querying for the
mapping, i see _parent in the result:

curl -XGET http://localhost:9200/myindex/feedback/_mapping
http://localhost:9200/myindex/feedback/_mapping

{"feedback":{"_parent":{"type":"content"},"_routing":{"required":true},"properties":{"cid":{"type":"long"},"cmi":{"type":"long"},"cp":{"type":"long"},"ct":{"type":"long"},"cwn":{"type":"long"},"dur":{"type":"long"},"fee":{"type":"long"},"ia":{"type":"long"},"ito":{"type":"long"},"mir":{"type":"long"},"mvd":{"type":"long"},"mvt":{"type":"long"},"n":{"type":"string"},"own":{"type":"long"},"pdt":{"type":"long"},"sav":{"type":"string"},"td":{"type":"long"}}}}

Thanks!

ok. even though i don't see the "_parent" in the result after doing the
curl request for the document, the parent mapping does indeed exist, as i
was able to run a query with the has_parent - and it returned appropriately
the correct children. So.. is it normal that the "_parent" doesn't come
back in the document requested?

thanks!
