Is it possible to returns other fields when you aggregate results on Elasticsearch? - elasticsearch

Here is the mappings of my index PublicationsLikes:
id : String
account : String
api : String
date : Date
I'm currently making an aggregation on ES where I group the results counts by the id (of the publication).
{
"key": "<publicationId-1>",
"doc_count": 25
},
{
"key": "<publicationId-2>",
"doc_count": 387
},
{
"key": "<publicationId-3>",
"doc_count": 7831
}
The returned "key" (the id) is an information but I also need to select another fields of the publication like account and api. A bit like that:
{
"key": "<publicationId-1>",
"api": "Facebook",
"accountId": "65465z4fe6ezf456ezdf",
"doc_count": 25
},
{
"key": "<publicationId-2>",
"api": "Twitter",
"accountId": "afaez5f4eaz",
"doc_count": 387
}
How can I manage this?
Thanks.

This requirement is best achieved by top_hits aggregation, where you can sort the documents in each bucket and choose the first and also you can control which fields you want returned:
{
"size": 0,
"aggs": {
"publications": {
"terms": {
"field": "id"
},
"aggs": {
"sample": {
"top_hits": {
"size": 1,
"_source": ["api","accountId"]
}
}
}
}
}
}

You can use subaggregation for this.
GET /PublicationsLikes/_search
{
"aggs" : {
"ids": {
"terms": {
"field": "id"
},
"aggs": {
"accounts": {
"terms": {
"field": "account",
"size": 1
}
}
}
}
}
}
Your result will not exactly what you want but it will be a bit similar:
{
"key": "<publicationId-1>",
"doc_count": 25,
"accounts": {
"buckets": [
{
"key": "<account-1>",
"doc_count": 25
}
]
}
},
{
"key": "<publicationId-2>",
"doc_count": 387,
"accounts": {
"buckets": [
{
"key": "<account-2>",
"doc_count": 387
}
]
}
},
{
"key": "<publicationId-3>",
"doc_count": 7831,
"accounts": {
"buckets": [
{
"key": "<account-3>",
"doc_count": 7831
}
]
}
}

Thanks both for your quick replies. I think the first solution is the most "beautiful" (in terms of request but also to retrieves the results) but both seems to be sub aggregations queries.
{
"size": 0,
"aggs": {
"publications": {
"terms": {
"size": 0,
"field": "publicationId"
},
"aggs": {
"sample": {
"top_hits": {
"size": 1,
"_source": ["accountId", "api"]
}
}
}
}
}
}
I think I must be careful to size=0 parameter, so, because I work in the Java Api, I decided to put INT.Max instead of 0.
Thnaks a lot guys.

Nested array of objects aggregation in Elasticsearch

Documents in the Elasticsearch are indexed as such
Document 1
{
"task_completed": 10
"tagged_object": [
{
"category": "cat",
"count": 10
},
{
"category": "cars",
"count": 20
}
]
}
Document 2
{
"task_completed": 50
"tagged_object": [
{
"category": "cars",
"count": 100
},
{
"category": "dog",
"count": 5
}
]
}
As you can see that the value of the category key is dynamic in nature. I want to perform a similar aggregation like in SQL with the group by category and return the sum of the count of each category.
In the above example, the aggregation should return
cat: 10,
cars: 120 and
dog: 5
Wanted to know how to write this aggregation query in Elasticsearch if it is possible. Thanks in advance.
You can achieve your required result, using nested, terms, and sum aggregation.
Adding a working example with index mapping, search query and search result
Index Mapping:
{
"mappings": {
"properties": {
"tagged_object": {
"type": "nested"
}
}
}
}
Search Query:
{
"size": 0,
"aggs": {
"resellers": {
"nested": {
"path": "tagged_object"
},
"aggs": {
"books": {
"terms": {
"field": "tagged_object.category.keyword"
},
"aggs":{
"sum_of_count":{
"sum":{
"field":"tagged_object.count"
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
Search Result:

"resellers": {
"doc_count": 4,
"books": {
"doc_count_error_upper_bound": 0,

Elasticsearch return document ids while doing aggregate query

Is it possible to get an array of elasticsearch document id while group by, i.e
Current output
"aggregations": {,
"types": {
"doc_count_error_upper_bound": 0,
"sum_other_doc_count": 0,
"buckets": [
{
"key": "Text Document",
"doc_count": 3310
},
{
"key": "Unknown",
"doc_count": 15
},
{
"key": "Document",
"doc_count": 13
}
]
}
}
Desired output
"aggregations": {,
"types": {
"doc_count_error_upper_bound": 0,
"sum_other_doc_count": 0,
"buckets": [
{
"key": "Text Document",
"doc_count": 3310,
"ids":["doc1","doc2", "doc3"....]
},
{
"key": "Unknown",
"doc_count": 15,
"ids":["doc11","doc12", "doc13"....]
},
{
"key": "Document",
"doc_count": 13
"ids":["doc21","doc22", "doc23"....]
}
]
}
}
Not sure if this is possible in elasticsearch or not,
below is my aggregation query:
{
"size": 0,
"aggs": {
"types": {
"terms": {
"field": "docType",
"size": 10
}
}
}
}
Elasticsearch version:
6.3.2
You can use top_hits aggregation which will return all documents under an aggregation. Using source filtering you can select fields under hits
Query:
"aggs": {
"district": {
"terms": {
"field": "docType",
"size": 10
},
"aggs": {
"docs": {
"top_hits": {
"size": 10,
"_source": ["ids"]
}
}
}
}
}
For anyone interested, another solution is to create a custom key value using a script to create a string of delineated values from the doc, including the id. It may not be pretty, but you can then parse it out later - and if you just need something minimal like the doc id, it may be worth it.
{
"size": 0,
"aggs": {
"types": {
"terms": {
"script": "doc['docType'].value+'::'+doc['_id'].value",
"size": 10
}
}
}
}

Filter elasticsearch bucket aggregation based on term field

I have a list of products (deal entities) and I'm attempting to create a bucket aggregation by categories, ordered by the sum of available_stock.
This all works fine, but I want to exclude such categories from the resulting aggregation that don't have level set to 1 (In other words, I only want to keep aggregations on category where level IS 1).
I am aware that elasticsearch provides "exclude" and "include" parameters, but these only work on the same field I'm aggregating on (deal.category.id in this case)
This is my sample deal document:
{
"_source": {
"id": 392745,
"category": [
{
"id": 17575,
"level": 2
},
{
"id": 17574,
"level": 1
},
{
"id": 17572,
"level": 0
}
],
"stats": {
"available_stock": 500
}
}
}
And this would be the query:
{
"query": {
"filtered": {
"query": {
"match_all": {}
},
}
},
"aggs": {
"mainAggregation": {
"terms": {
"field": "deal.category.id",
"order": {
"available_stock": "desc"
},
"size": 3
},
"aggs": {
"available_stock": {
"sum": {
"field": "deal.stats.available_stock"
}
}
}
}
},
"size": 0
}
And my resulting aggregation, sadly including category 17572 with level 0.
{
"aggregations": {
"mainAggregation": {
"buckets": [
{
"key": 17572,
"doc_count": 30,
"available_stock": {
"value": 24000
}
},
{
"key": 17598,
"doc_count": 10,
"available_stock": {
"value": 12000
}
},
{
"key": 17602,
"doc_count": 8,
"available_stock": {
"value": 6000
}
}
]
}
}
}
P.S.: Currently on ElasticSearch 1.6
Update 1: Still stuck on the problem after various experiments with various combimation of subaggregations.
I have found this impossible to solve and decided to go with two separate queries.

How to get an Elasticsearch aggregation with multiple fields

I'm attempting to find related tags to the one currently being viewed. Every document in our index is tagged. Each tag is formed of two parts - an ID and text name:
{
...
meta: {
...
tags: [
{
id: 123,
name: 'Biscuits'
},
{
id: 456,
name: 'Cakes'
},
{
id: 789,
name: 'Breads'
}
]
}
}
To fetch the related tags I am simply querying the documents and getting an aggregate of their tags:
{
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": [
{
"match": {
"item.meta.tags.id": "123"
}
},
{
...
}
]
}
},
"aggs": {
"baked_goods": {
"terms": {
"field": "item.meta.tags.id",
"min_doc_count": 2
}
}
}
}
This works perfectly, I am getting the results I want. However, I require both the tag ID and name to do anything useful. I have explored how to accomplish this, the solutions seem to be:
Combine the fields when indexing
A script to munge together the fields
A nested aggregation
Option one and two are are not available to me so I have been going with 3 but it's not responding in an expected manner. Given the following query (still searching for documents also tagged with 'Biscuits'):
{
...
"aggs": {
"baked_goods": {
"terms": {
"field": "item.meta.tags.id",
"min_doc_count": 2
},
"aggs": {
"name": {
"terms": {
"field": "item.meta.tags.name"
}
}
}
}
}
}
I will get this result:
{
...
"aggregations": {
"baked_goods": {
"buckets": [
{
"key": "456",
"doc_count": 11,
"name": {
"buckets": [
{
"key": "Biscuits",
"doc_count": 11
},
{
"key": "Cakes",
"doc_count": 11
}
]
}
}
]
}
}
}
The nested aggregation includes both the search term and the tag I'm after (returned in alphabetical order).
I have tried to mitigate this by adding an exclude to the nested aggregation but this slowed the query down far too much (around 100 times for 500000 docs). So far the fastest solution is to de-dupe the result manually.
What is the best way to get an aggregation of tags with both the tag ID and tag name in the response?
Thanks for making it this far!
By the looks of it, your tags is not nested.
For this aggregation to work, you need it nested so that there is an association between an id and a name. Without nested the list of ids is just an array and the list of names is another array:
"item": {
"properties": {
"meta": {
"properties": {
"tags": {
"type": "nested", <-- nested field
"include_in_parent": true, <-- to, also, keep the flat array-like structure
"properties": {
"id": {
"type": "integer"
},
"name": {
"type": "string"
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
Also, note that I've added to the mapping this line "include_in_parent": true which means that your nested tags will, also, behave like a "flat" array-like structure.
So, everything you had so far in your queries will still work without any changes to the queries.
But, for this particular query of yours, the aggregation needs to change to something like this:
{
"aggs": {
"baked_goods": {
"nested": {
"path": "item.meta.tags"
},
"aggs": {
"name": {
"terms": {
"field": "item.meta.tags.id"
},
"aggs": {
"name": {
"terms": {
"field": "item.meta.tags.name"
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
And the result is like this:
"aggregations": {
"baked_goods": {
"doc_count": 9,
"name": {
"doc_count_error_upper_bound": 0,
"sum_other_doc_count": 0,
"buckets": [
{
"key": 123,
"doc_count": 3,
"name": {
"doc_count_error_upper_bound": 0,
"sum_other_doc_count": 0,
"buckets": [
{
"key": "biscuits",
"doc_count": 3
}
]
}
},
{
"key": 456,
"doc_count": 2,
"name": {
"doc_count_error_upper_bound": 0,
"sum_other_doc_count": 0,
"buckets": [
{
"key": "cakes",
"doc_count": 2
}
]
}
},

Elasticsearch Terms or Cardinality Aggregation - Order by number of distinct values

Friends,
I am doing some analysis to find unique pairs from 100s of millions of documents. The mock example is as shown below:
doc field1 field2
AAA : BBB
AAA : CCC
PPP : QQQ
PPP : QQQ
XXX : YYY
XXX : YYY
MMM : NNN
90% of the document contains an unique pair as shown above in doc 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 which I am not interested on my aggregation result. I am interested to aggregate doc 1 and 2.
Terms Aggregation Query:
"aggs": {
"f1": {
"terms": {
"field": "FIELD1",
"min_doc_count": 2
},
"aggs": {
"f2": {
"terms": {
"field": "FIELD2"
}
}
}
}
}
Term Aggregation Result
"aggregations": {
"f1": {
"buckets": [
{
"key": "PPP",
"doc_count": 2,
"f2": {
"buckets": [
{
"key": "QQQ",
"doc_count": 2
}
]
}
},
{
"key": "XXX",
"doc_count": 2,
"f2": {
"buckets": [
{
"key": "YYY",
"doc_count": 2
}
]
}
},
{
"key": "AAA",
"doc_count": 2,
"f2": {
"buckets": [
{
"key": "BBB",
"doc_count": 1
},
{
"key": "CCC",
"doc_count": 1
}
]
}
}
]
}
}
I am interested only on key AAA to be in the aggregation result. What is the best way to filter the aggregation result containing distinct pairs?
I tried with cardinality aggregation which result unque value count. However I am not able to filter out what I am not interested from the aggregation results.
Cardinality Aggregation Query
"aggs": {
"f1": {
"terms": {
"field": "FIELD1",
"min_doc_count": 2
},
"aggs": {
"f2": {
"cardinality": {
"field": "FIELD2"
}
}
}
}
}
Cardinality Aggregation Result
"aggregations": {
"f1": {
"buckets": [
{
"key": "PPP",
"doc_count": 2,
"f2": {
"value" : 1
}
},
{
"key": "XXX",
"doc_count": 2,
"f2": {
"value" : 1
}
},
{
"key": "AAA",
"doc_count": 2,
"f2": {
"value" : 2
}
}
]
}
}
Atleast if I could sort by cardinal value, that would be help me to find some workarounds. Please help me in this regard.
P.S: Writing a spark/mapreduce program to post process/filter the aggregation result is not expected solution for this issue.
I suggest to use filter query along with aggregations, since you are only interested in field1=AAA.
I have a similar example here.
For example, I have an index of all patients in my hospital. I store their drug use in a nested object DRUG. Each patient could take different drugs, and each could take a single drug for multiple times.
Now if I wanted to find the number of patients who took aspirin at least once, the query could be:
{
"size": 0,
"_source": false,
"query": {
"filtered": {
"query": {
"match_all": {}
},
"filter": {
"nested": {
"path": "DRUG",
"filter": {
"bool": {
"must": [{ "term": { "DRUG.NAME": "aspirin" } }]
}}}}}},
"aggs": {
"DRUG_FACETS": {
"nested": {
"path": "DRUG"
},
"aggs": {
"DRUG_NAME_FACETS": {
"terms": { "field": "DRUG.NAME", "size": 0 },
"aggs": {
"DISTINCT": { "cardinality": { "field": "DRUG.PATIENT" } }
}
}}}}
}
Sample result:
{
"took": 6,
"timed_out": false,
"_shards": {
"total": 5,
"successful": 5,
"failed": 0
},
"hits": {
"total": 6,
"max_score": 0,
"hits": []
},
"aggregations": {
"DRUG_FACETS": {
"doc_count": 11,
"DRUG_NAME_FACETS": {
"buckets": [
{
"key": "aspirin",
"doc_count": 6,
"DISTINCT": {
"value": 6
}
},
{
"key": "vitamin-b",
"doc_count": 3,
"DISTINCT": {
"value": 2
}
},
{
"key": "vitamin-c",
"doc_count": 2,
"DISTINCT": {
"value": 2
}
}
]
}
}
}
}
The first one in the buckets would be aspirin. But you can see other 2 patients had also taken vitamin-b when they took aspirin.
If you change the field value of DRUG.NAME to another drug name for example "vitamin-b", I suppose you would get vitamin-b in the first position of the buckets.
Hopefully this is helpful to your question.
A bit late, hope it would help for others.
A simple approach is to filter only 'AAA' records in top aggregation:
{
"size": 0,
"aggregations": {
"filterAAA": {
"filter": {
"term": {
"FIELD1": "AAA"
}
},
"aggregations": {
"f1": {
"terms": {
"field": "FIELD1",
"min_doc_count": 2
},
"aggregations": {
"f2": {
"terms": {
"field": "FIELD2"
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
