Adding new keys to a Array Of Hashes - ruby

I have a collection of K:V Pairs as seen below:
list = [
{"Mary"=>"Die Hard"},
{"Paul"=>"The Grinch"},
{"John"=>"Halloween"},
]
But now I would like to flesh out and change the list, adding more specific keys in order to make it more searchable.
Is this possible or even an advisable way to go about this?
new_list = [
{ name: "Mary", film: "Die Hard"},
{ name: "Paul", film: "The Grinch"},
{ name: "John", film: "Halloween"},
]

I would probably:
Use map to iterate over the elements in list and build a new array at the same time
Since each element is a hash with one item, destruct that into a key and value
Build the new hash in the correct format
new_list = list.map do |hash|
# e.g. key = "Mary", value = "Die Hard"
key, value = hash.first
{name: key, film: value}
end
This assumes that each hash in the list will have only one item (as you've shown in your example in the question) - you may want to validate this elsewhere, since this solution would ignore any other items in the hash past the first.

Appsync graphql: How to filter based on entry in an array field

In my code I have created filter as:
const myFilter: TableMyEntityFilterInput = {targets: {contains: 'username'}};
'targets' field is an array:
targets?: Array | null;
My objective is to fetch those records which has 'username' as an entry in 'targets' field.
But it does't work. Empty array is fetched. But if I use similar criteria on a simple string field, it works.
How to get it working for array field?
Edit:
'targets' sample value:
[ { "S" : "[\"Messi\",\"Ronaldo\"]" }]
CONTAINS is supported for lists: When evaluating "a CONTAINS b", "a" can be a list; however, "b" cannot be a set, a map, or a list.

Rethinkdb - Get first item of an array

My data structure
{
"group": "fruits"
"items": ["apple", "orange", "banana"]
}
I need to pull first item from the "items" array without knowing the value. Is it possible?
I think I figured out the answer. I can use "nth(0)" to get item at index 0.

RethinkDB: how to append to an array in a nested structure

I am trying to append to an array in a nested field, which I have to find based on runtime information.
Here's an example:
r.db("test")
.table("test")
.insert({ "stock": [{ "bin":"abc", "entries":[{ "state":1 }] }] })
The idea is that the document contains a "stock" key, which is an array of multiple "storage bins". Each bin has a name and a number of entries. I need to be able to append to entries in one of the bins, atomically, without affecting other bins.
I tried this approach:
r.db("test")
.table("test")
.update(function(item) {
return {"stock": item("stock")
.filter({ "bin": "abc" })
.append({ "state":42 })
}
})
…but that does not append at the right level, and I am not certain if it will preserve existing bins with names other than "abc".
When updating an element of an array, you should use changeAt with an index, or map over the array instead of using filter.
Here is what that query might look like:
r.table("test")
.update(function(item){
return {"stock": item("stock").map(function(stock){
r.branch(stock.hasFields({"bin": "abc"})
stock.merge({"entries": stock("entries").append({"state": 42})}),
stock)})}})
Alternatively, if you stored your entries in an object instead of an array, like this:
{ "stock": {"abc": {"entries":[{ "state":1 }] }} }
The update query might look like this:
r.table("test")
.filter(r.row.hasFields({"stock": {"abc": true}}))
.update({"stock": {"abc": r.row("stock")("abc").append({"state": 42})}})

How do you calculate the average of a all entries in a field from a specific collection in Mongo using Ruby

Given the following data:
{
_id: ObjectId("51659dc99d62eedc1a000001"),
type: "image_search",
branch: "qa_media_discovery_feelobot",
time_elapsed: 19000,
test: "1365613930 All Media",
search_term: null,
env: "delta",
date: ISODate("2013-04-10T17:13:45.751Z")
}
I would like to run a command like:
avg_image_search_time = #coll.find("type" => "image_search").avg(:time_elapsed)
How would I accomplish this?
I understand the documentation on this is kind of difficult to follow.
avg_image_search_time = #coll.aggregate([ {"$group" => {"_id"=>"$type", "avg"=> {"$avg"=>"$time_elapsed"}}}, {"$match" => {"_id"=>"image_search"}} ]).first['avg']
To break this down:
We are grouping the matches by the type field, and returning the $avg time_elapsed for each type. We name the resulting average avg. Then, of those groups, filter out only the ones where the group _id matches image_search. Finally, since aggregate always returns an array, get the first result (there should only be one), and grab the avg field that we named.
Use the mongodb aggregation framework http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/aggregation/

ElasticSearch, how to search for a document containing a specific array element

I am having a little problem with elasticsearch and wonder if someone can help me solve it.
I have a document containing an array of tuples (publications).
Something like :
{
....
publications: [
{
item1: 385294,
item2: 11
},
{
item1: 395078,
item2: 1
}
]
....
}
The problem i have is for retrieving documents who contain a specific tuple, for exemple (item1 = 395078 AND item2 = 1).
Whatever i try, it seems to always treat item1 and item2 separately, i fail to tell elasticsearch that item1 and item2 must have a specific value inside the same tuple, not accross the whole array...
Is there something i'm missing here ?
Thanks
This is not possible in the straight way.
ElasticSearch flattens the array before checking for condition.
Which mean
elasticSearch matches
a=x AND b=y1 to [{a=x,b=y},{a=x1,b=y1}] which doesnt happen in the conventianal array checking.
What you can do here is
Usage of nested type - https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/nested.html (but for each element in array , an extra document would be created)
Store the array as
publications: [
{
385294:11
},
{
395078:1
}
]
