Using "not filter" and "match_all" filter on nested objects

Bert_Vanpeteghem · March 5, 2015, 7:58pm

Hi,

I found that when looking for empty arrays of nested objects, I need to put
the not filter around the nested filter.
This is ok, but in our situation, it would be nice if we could have it the
other way around, so that we can have the nested filter as the outer level.
It works for term queries that way, but not for match_all queries.

Note: the match_all for finding non-empty values is a technique borrowed
from: https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/3495

Is there a way to have the nested filter as the outer one, and somehow
achieve the same results?

The following gist has curl with mappings & queries:

curl -XDELETE "http://localhost:9200/test"

curl -XPOST "http://localhost:9200/test" -d'
{
  "mappings":
  {
    "movie": {
      "properties": {
        "title": { "type" : "string" },
        "actors": {
