Boosting elastic aggregation result - sorting

I have an elastic index for products, each product has Brand attribution and I "have to" create an aggregation that returns Brands of the products.
My Sample Query:
GET /products/product/_search
{
"size": 0,
"aggs": {
"myFancyFilter": {
"filter": {
"match_all": {}
},
"aggs": {
"inner": {
"terms": {
"field": "Brand",
"size": 3
}
}
}
}
},
"query": {
"match_all": {}
}
}
And the result:
{
"took": 2,
"timed_out": false,
"_shards": {
"total": 1,
"successful": 1,
"failed": 0
},
"hits": {
"total": 236952,
"max_score": 0,
"hits": []
},
"aggregations": {
"myFancyFilter": {
"doc_count": 236952,
"inner": {
"doc_count_error_upper_bound": 0,
"sum_other_doc_count": 139267,
"buckets": [
{
"key": "Brand1",
"doc_count": 3144
},
{
"key": "Brand2",
"doc_count": 1759
},
{
"key": "Brand3",
"doc_count": 1737
}
]
}
}
}
}
It works perfect for me. Elastic sorts buckets according to doc_count, however I would like to manipulate the bucket order in result. For example, assume that I have Brand5 and I want to increment its order to #2. I want result coming in order Brand1, Brand5 and Brand3.
If it was not in an aggregation, but in a query, I could use function_score, but now, I don't have an idea. Any clues?

What you are looking for is to define your own sorting definition and that to be applied in aggregation in elasticsearch. I've been able to come up with a solution by renaming the aggregation terms in below manner:
Brand1 to a_Brand1
Brand5 to b_Brand5
Brand3 to c_Brand3
And then apply sorting on the terms so that sorting happens lexicographically.
Of course this may not be the exact or the best solution but I felt this can help.
Below is the query that I've used. Please note that my field name is brand and it is a multifield and I'm using the field brand.keyword.
POST testdataindex/_search
{
"size":0,
"query":{
"match_all":{
}
},
"aggs":{
"myFancyFilter":{
"filter":{
"match_all":{
}
},
"aggs":{
"inner":{
"terms":{
"script":{
"lang":"painless",
"inline":"if(params.newNames.containsKey(doc['brand.keyword'].value)) { return params.newNames[doc['brand.keyword'].value];} return null;",
"params":{
"newNames":{
"Brand1":"a_Brand1",
"Brand5":"b_Brand5",
"Brand3":"c_Brand3"
}
}
},
"order":{
"_term":"asc"
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
I've created a sample data with brand names Brand1, Brand3 and Brand5 and below how the results would appear. Note the change in the term names.
{
"took": 6,
"timed_out": false,
"_shards": {
"total": 5,
"successful": 5,
"skipped": 0,
"failed": 0
},
"hits": {
"total": 8,
"max_score": 0,
"hits": []
},
"aggregations": {
"myFancyFilter": {
"doc_count": 8,
"inner": {
"doc_count_error_upper_bound": 0,
"sum_other_doc_count": 0,
"buckets": [
{
"key": "a_Brand1",
"doc_count": 2
},
{
"key": "b_Brand5",
"doc_count": 4
},
{
"key": "c_Brand3",
"doc_count": 2
}
]
}
}
}
}
Hope it helps!

Group results returned by elasticsearch query based on query terms

I am very new with elasticsearch. I am facing an issue building a query. My document structure is like:
{
latlng: {
lat: '<some-latitude>',
lon: '<some-longitude>'
},
gmap_result: {<Some object>}
}
I am doing a search on a list of lat-long. For each coordinate, I am fetching a result that is within 100m. I have been able to do this part. But, the tricky part is that I do not know which results in the output correspond to the which query term. I think this requires using aggregations at some level, but I am currently clueless on how to proceed on this.
An aggregate query is the correct approach. You can learn about them here:
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-aggregations.html
An example is below. In this example, I am using a match query to find all instances of the word test in the field title and then aggregating the field status to count the number of results with the word test that are in each status.
GET /my_index/_search
{
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": [
{
"match": {
"title": "*test*"
}
}
]
}
},
"aggs": {
"count_by_status": {
"terms": {
"field": "status"
}
}
},
"size": 0
}
The results look like this:
{
"took": 3,
"timed_out": false,
"_shards": {
"total": 5,
"successful": 5,
"skipped": 0,
"failed": 0
},
"hits": {
"total": 346,
"max_score": 0,
"hits": []
},
"aggregations": {
"count_by_status": {
"doc_count_error_upper_bound": 0,
"sum_other_doc_count": 0,
"buckets": [
{
"key": "Open",
"doc_count": 283
},
{
"key": "Completed",
"doc_count": 36
},
{
"key": "On Hold",
"doc_count": 12
},
{
"key": "Withdrawn",
"doc_count": 10
},
{
"key": "Declined",
"doc_count": 5
}
]
}
}
}
If you provide your query, it would help us give a more specific aggregate query for you to use.

Get Percentage of Values in Elasticsearch

I have some test documents that look like
"hits": {
...
"_source": {
"student": "DTWjkg",
"name": "My Name",
"grade": "A"
...
"student": "ggddee",
"name": "My Name2",
"grade": "B"
...
"student": "ggddee",
"name": "My Name3",
"grade": "A"
And I wanted to get the percentage of students that have a grade of B, the result would be "33%", assuming there were only 3 students.
How would I do this in Elasticsearch?
So far I have this aggregation, which I feel like is close:
"aggs": {
"gradeBPercent": {
"terms": {
"field" : "grade",
"script" : "_value == 'B'"
}
}
}
This returns:
"aggregations": {
"gradeBPercent": {
"doc_count_error_upper_bound": 0,
"sum_other_doc_count": 0,
"buckets": [
{
"key": "false",
"doc_count": 2
},
{
"key": "true",
"doc_count": 1
}
]
}
}
I'm not looking necessarily looking for an exact answer, perhaps what I could terms and keywords I could google. I've read over the elasticsearch docs and not found anything that could help.
First off, you shouldn't need a script for this aggregation. If you want to limit your results to everyone where `value == 'B' then you should do that using a filter, not a script.
ElasticSearch won't return you a percentage exactly, but you can easily calculate that using the result from a TERMS AGGREGATION.
Example:
GET devdev/audittrail/_search
{
"size": 0,
"aggs": {
"a1": {
"terms": {
"field": "uIDRequestID"
}
}
}
}
That returns:
{
"took": 12,
"timed_out": false,
"_shards": {
"total": 5,
"successful": 5,
"failed": 0
},
"hits": {
"total": 25083,
"max_score": 0,
"hits": []
},
"aggregations": {
"a1": {
"doc_count_error_upper_bound": 9,
"sum_other_doc_count": 1300,
"buckets": [
{
"key": 556,
"doc_count": 34
},
{
"key": 393,
"doc_count": 28
},
{
"key": 528,
"doc_count": 15
}
]
}
}
}
So what does that return mean?
the hits.total field is the total number of records matching your query.
the doc_count is telling you how many items are in each bucket.
So for my example here: I could say that the key "556" shows up in 34 of 25083 documents, so it has a percentage of (34 / 25083) * 100

Elasticsearch: accuracy on a filter aggregation

I'm fairly new to Elasticsearch (using version 2.2).
To simplify my question, I have documents that have a field named termination, which can sometimes take the value transfer.
I currently do this request to aggregate by month the number of documents which have that termination :
{
"size": 0,
"sort": [{
"#timestamp": {
"order": "desc",
"unmapped_type": "boolean"
}
}],
"query": { "match_all": {} },
"aggs": {
"report": {
"date_histogram": {
"field": "#timestamp",
"interval": "month",
"min_doc_count": 0
},
"aggs": {
"documents_with_termination_transfer": {
"filter": {
"term": {
"termination": "transfer"
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
Here is the response :
{
"_shards": {
"failed": 0,
"successful": 206,
"total": 206
},
"aggregations": {
"report": {
"buckets": [
{
"calls_with_termination_transfer": {
"doc_count": 209163
},
"doc_count": 278100,
"key": 1451606400000,
"key_as_string": "2016-01-01T00:00:00.000Z"
},
{
"calls_with_termination_transfer": {
"doc_count": 107244
},
"doc_count": 136597,
"key": 1454284800000,
"key_as_string": "2016-02-01T00:00:00.000Z"
}
]
}
},
"hits": {
"hits": [],
"max_score": 0.0,
"total": 414699
},
"timed_out": false,
"took": 90
}
Why is the number of hits (414699) greater than the total number of document counts (278100 + 136597 = 414697)? I had read about accuracy problems but it didn't seem to apply in the case of filters...
Is there also an accuracy problem if I sum the total numbers of documents with transfer termination ?
My guess is that some documents have a missing #timestamp.
You could verify this by running exists query on this field.

ElasticSearch count multiple fields grouped by

I have documents like
{"domain":"US", "zipcode":"11111", "eventType":"click", "id":"1", "time":100}
{"domain":"US", "zipcode":"22222", "eventType":"sell", "id":"2", "time":200}
{"domain":"US", "zipcode":"22222", "eventType":"click", "id":"3","time":150}
{"domain":"US", "zipcode":"11111", "eventType":"sell", "id":"4","time":350}
{"domain":"US", "zipcode":"33333", "eventType":"sell", "id":"5","time":225}
{"domain":"EU", "zipcode":"44444", "eventType":"click", "id":"5","time":120}
I want to filter these documents by eventType=sell and time between 125 and 400, group by domain followed by zipcode and count the documents in each bucket. So my output would be like (first and last docs would be ignored by the filters)
US, 11111,1
US, 22222,1
US, 33333,1
In SQL, this should have been straightforward. But I am not able to get this to work on ElasticSearch. Could someone please help me out here?
How do I write ElasticSearch query to accomplish the above?
This query seems to do what you want:
POST /test_index/_search
{
"size": 0,
"query": {
"filtered": {
"filter": {
"bool": {
"must": [
{
"term": {
"eventType": "sell"
}
},
{
"range": {
"time": {
"gte": 125,
"lte": 400
}
}
}
]
}
}
}
},
"aggs": {
"zipcode_terms": {
"terms": {
"field": "zipcode"
}
}
}
}
returning
{
"took": 8,
"timed_out": false,
"_shards": {
"total": 5,
"successful": 5,
"failed": 0
},
"hits": {
"total": 3,
"max_score": 0,
"hits": []
},
"aggregations": {
"zipcode_terms": {
"doc_count_error_upper_bound": 0,
"sum_other_doc_count": 0,
"buckets": [
{
"key": "11111",
"doc_count": 1
},
{
"key": "22222",
"doc_count": 1
},
{
"key": "33333",
"doc_count": 1
}
]
}
}
}
(Note that there is only 1 "sell" at "22222", not 2).
Here is some code I used to test it:
http://sense.qbox.io/gist/1c4cb591ab72a6f3ae681df30fe023ddfca4225b
You might want to take a look at terms aggregations, the bool filter, and range filters.
EDIT: I just realized I left out the domain part, but it should be straightforward to add in a bucket aggregation on that as well if you need to.

How to return number of matches according to specific term in search query?

In my search query I have this:
...
term: { CategoryId: [1,2,3] }
...
I need to return how many matches were found for each category. For now just total number of matches is returned. Is it possible? I think this might be related to aggregation, however I can't find the right solution...
A sample query can be,
POST /test/products/_search
{
"size": 0,
"aggs": {
"category": {
"terms": {
"field": "category"
}
}
}
}
so response is as,
{
"took": 2,
"timed_out": false,
"_shards": {
"total": 5,
"successful": 5,
"failed": 0
},
"hits": {
"total": 10,
"max_score": 0,
"hits": []
},
"aggregations": {
"category": {
"buckets": [
{
"key": "1",
"doc_count": 10
},
{
"key": "2",
"doc_count": 12
}
]
}
}
}
Which gives no of documents for each category.
Hope this helps!!
