Match multiple properties on the same nested document in ElasticSearch - elasticsearch

Question

I'm trying to accomplish what boils down to a boolean AND on nested documents in ElasticSearch. Let's say I have the following two documents.
{
"id": 1,
"secondLevels": [
{
"thirdLevels": [
{
"isActive": true,
"user": "anotheruser#domain.com"
}
]
},
{
"thirdLevels": [
{
"isActive": false,
"user": "user#domain.com"
}
]
}
]
}
{
"id": 2,
"secondLevels": [
{
"thirdLevels": [
{
"isActive": true,
"user": "user#domain.com"
}
]
}
]
}
In this case, I want to only match documents (in this case ID: 2) that have a nested document with both isActive: true AND user: user#domain.com.
{
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": [
{
"nested": {
"path": "secondLevels.thirdLevels",
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": [
{
"term": {
"secondLevels.thirdLevels.isActive": true
}
},
{
"term": {
"secondLevels.thirdLevels.user": "user#domain.com"
}
}
]
}
}
}
}
]
}
}
}
However, what seems to be happening is that my query turns up both documents because the first document has one thirdLevel that has isActive: true and another thirdLevel that has the appropriate user.
Is there any way to enforce this strictly at query/filter time or do I have to do this in a script?

Answer 1

With nested-objects and nested-query, you have made most of the way.
All you have to do now is to add the inner hits flag and also use source filtering for move entire secondLevels documents out of the way:
{
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": [
{
"nested": {
"path": "secondLevels.thirdLevels",
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": [
{
"term": {
"secondLevels.thirdLevels.isActive": true
}
},
{
"term": {
"secondLevels.thirdLevels.user": "user#domain.com"
}
}
]
}
},
"inner_hits": {
"size": 100
}
}
}
]
}
}
}
