Spring Data Elasticsearch to fetch Documents between two dates generates wrong query - spring

Question

I am trying to fetch documents which are greater or lesser than specified date.
I am using the below searchQuery for this purpose.
QueryBuilder queryBuilder = QueryBuilders.boolQuery()
.must(QueryBuilders.rangeQuery("date")
.gt("2015-06-25T00:00:00")
.lt("2015-06-25T00:00:00"));
The query generated from the above querybuilder is like this.
{
"bool" : {
"must" : [ {
"range" : {
"date" : {
"from" : "2015-06-25T00:00:00",
"to" : "2015-06-25T00:00:00",
"include_lower" : false,
"include_upper" : false
}
}
}
} ]
}
Even when i use functions gt and lt of rangequery the query is generated as from and to.
What is the solution so that a query can be generated like this.
{
"bool" : {
"must" : [ {
"range" : {
"date" : {
"gt" : "2015-06-25T00:00:00",
"lt" : "2015-06-25T00:00:00",
"include_lower" : false,
"include_upper" : false
}
}
}
} ]
}
This is the test class i have written.
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#ContextConfiguration(classes = { ElasticSearchConfiguration.class }, loader = AnnotationConfigContextLoader.class)
public class ElasticSearchTest {
#Autowired
private ElasticsearchTemplate elasticsearchTemplate;
#Autowired
private Client client;
#Test
public void testAggregation(){
QueryBuilder querybuilder = QueryBuilders.boolQuery().must(QueryBuilders.rangeQuery("receiptdate").gte("2015-06-25T00:00:00").lte ("2015-07-25T00:00:00")));
final SearchQuery searchQuery = new NativeSearchQueryBuilder()
.withQuery(qb)
.build();
final List<Test> records = elasticsearchTemplate.queryForList(searchQuery, Test.class);
}
}
Any suggestions on how to achieve this in Spring Data Elasticsearch would be helpful.

Answer 1

Your query would not return any results, since you're looking for dates strictly greater and strictly lower than the same date. You need to use gte and lte instead:
QueryBuilder queryBuilder = QueryBuilders.boolQuery()
.must(QueryBuilders.rangeQuery("date")
.gte("2015-06-25T00:00:00")
.lte("2015-06-25T00:00:00"));
The official parameters of the range query are gt, gte, lt and lte.
The from, to, include_lower and include_upper parameters are old deprecated parameters, which the RangeQueryBuilder is still using but can (and will) be removed at anytime.
Just know that:
from + include_lower: false is equivalent to gt
from + include_lower: true is equivalent to gte
to + include_upper: false is equivalent to lt
to + include_upper: true is equivalent to lte
