Source filtering of nested object data

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Is it possible to filter the _source of nested data conditionally?

For example, I have nested object data like this:

{
"name" : "Thing",
"children" :
{
"id": "1",
"qty": "4"
},
{
"id": "2",
"qty": "5"
},
{
"id": "3",
"qty": "1"
},
{....}
}

In some cases I will have thousands of 'children' so I don't want to return
them all on every query. I want to be able to just return children with
certain "id" numbers.

Is that possible?

You could use script_fields to generate the values you want:

may be a bit tricky though :slight_smile:

I will know the 5-10 id's needed to be fetched at run-time. With
script_fields how would I access the children with those specific id's?

With script fields, you have access to the whole _source field, so you
would need to write a script to step through the _source field and to
extract the values you are interested in into a data structure (eg an array
or hash) which you return.
