I have an index in elasticsearch which contains a Id field and a geopoint.
right now in order to get the nearest documents I have to make two queries, one to get the original document by its id and after that use its coordinates to do a geosort. I was wondering if there is anyway to execute this as a single query.
public IEnumerable<RestaurantSearchItem> GetNearbyRestaurants(double latitude, double longitude)
{
var query = _elasticClient.Search<RestaurantSearchItem>(s =>
s.Index(RestaurantSearchItem.IndexName)
.Sort(
ss =>ss.GeoDistance(
g => g
.Field(p => p.Location)
.DistanceType(GeoDistanceType.Plane)
.Unit(DistanceUnit.Meters)
.Order(SortOrder.Ascending)
.Points(new GeoLocation(latitude,longitude)))));
var nearByRestaurants = query.Documents;
foreach (var restaurant in nearByRestaurants)
{
restaurant.Distance = Convert.ToDouble(query.Hits.Single(x => x.Id == restaurant.Id).Sorts.Single());
}
return nearByRestaurants;
}
