elastic search 5 - how to query Object datatype and nested array of json - elasticsearch

Question

I want to query against nested data already loaded into Elasticsearch 5 but every query returns nothing. The data is of object datatype and nested array of json.
This the nested datatype ie team_members array of json:
[{
"id": 6,
"name": "mike",
"priority": 1
}, {
"id": 7,
"name": "james",
"priority": 2
}]
This object datatype ie the availability_slot json:
{
"monday": {
"on": true,
"end_time": "15",
"start_time": "9",
"end_time_unit": "pm",
"start_time_unit": "am",
"events_starts_every": 10
}
}
This is my elasticsearch mapping:
{
"meetings_development_20170716013030509": {
"mappings": {
"meeting": {
"properties": {
"account": {"type": "integer"},
"availability_slot": {
"properties": {
"monday": {
"properties": {
"end_time": {"type": "text"},
"end_time_unit": {"type": "text"},
"events_starts_every": {
"type":"integer"
},
"on": {"type": "boolean"},
"start_time": {"type": "text"},
"start_time_unit": {
"type": "text"
}
}
}
}
},
"team_members": {
"type": "nested",
"properties": {
"id": {"type": "integer"},
"name": {"type": "text"},
"priority": {"type": "integer"}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
I have two queries which are failing for different reasons:
query 1
This query returns a count of zero despite the records existing in elasticsearch, I discovered the queries are failing because of the filter:
curl -u elastic:changeme http://172.19.0.4:9200/meetings_development/_search?pretty -d '{"query":{"nested":{"path":"team_members","score_mode":"avg","query":{"bool":{"must":[{"match":{"team_members.name":"mike"}},{"match":{"team_members.priority":1}}],"filter":[{"match":{"account":1}}]}}}}}'
This returns zero result:
{
"took" : 8,
"timed_out" : false,
"_shards" : {
"total" : 5,
"successful" : 5,
"failed" : 0
},
"hits" : {
"total" : 0,
"max_score" : null,
"hits" : [ ]
}
}
query 1 without filter
Thesame query from above without the filter works:
curl -u elastic:changeme http://172.19.0.4:9200/meetings_development/_search?pretty -d '{"query":{"nested":{"path":"team_members","score_mode":"avg","query":{"bool":{"must":[{"match":{"team_members.name":"mike"}},{"match":{"team_members.priority":1}}]}}}}}'
The query above returns 3 hits:
{
"took" : 312,
"timed_out" : false,
"_shards" : {
"total" : 5,
"successful" : 5,
"failed" : 0
},
"hits" : {
"total" : 3,
"max_score" : 2.1451323,
"hits" : [{**results available here**} ]
}
}
query 2 for the object datatype
curl -u elastic:changeme http://172.19.0.4:9200/meetings_development/_search?pretty -d '{"query":{"bool":{"must":{"match":{"availability_slot.start_time":1}},"filter":[{"match":{"account":1}}]}}}'
The query returns a hit of zero but the data is in elasticsearch:
{
"took" : 172,
"timed_out" : false,
"_shards" : {
"total" : 5,
"successful" : 5,
"failed" : 0
},
"hits" : {
"total" : 0,
"max_score" : null,
"hits" : [ ]
}
}
How do I get both queries to work filtering by account. Thanks

Answer 1

This elasticsearch guide link was very helpful in coming up with the correct elasticsearch queries shown below:
query 1 for the nested array of json
{
"query" => {
"bool": {
"must": [
{
"match": {
"name": "sales call"
}
},
{"nested" => {
"path" => "team_members",
"score_mode" => "avg",
"query" => {
"bool" => {
"must" => {
"match" => {"team_members.name" => "mike"}
}
}
}
}
}
],
"filter": {
"term": {
"account": 1
}
}
},
}
}
Just pass the query to elastic search like this:
curl http://172.19.0.4:9200/meetings_development/_search?pretty -d '{"query":{"bool":{"must":[{"match":{"name":"sales call"}},{"nested":{"path":"team_members","score_mode":"avg","query":{"bool":{"must":{"match":{"team_members.name":"mike"}}}}}}],"filter":{"term":{"account":1}}}}}'
correct syntax for query 2 for the object datatype ie json
{
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": {
"match": {'availability_slot.monday.start_time' => '9'}
},
"filter": [{
"match": {'account': 1}
}]
}
}
}
You the pass this to elasticsearch like this:
curl http://172.19.0.4:9200/meetings_development/_search?pretty -d '{"query":{"bool":{"must":{"match":{"availability_slot.monday.start_time":"9"}},"filter":[{"match":{"account":1}}]}}}'
