Strange results when querying nested objects - elasticsearch

Question

Elasticsearch version: 2.3.3
Plugins installed: no plugin
JVM version: 1.8.0_91
OS version: Linux version 3.19.0-56-generic (Ubuntu 4.8.2-19ubuntu1)
I get strange results when I query nested objects on multiple paths. I want to search for all female with dementia. And there are matched patients among the results. But I also get other diagnoses I'm not looking for, the diagnoses related to these patients.
For example, I also get the following diagnoses despite the fact that I looked only for dementia.
Mental disorder, not otherwise specified
Essential (primary) hypertension
Why is that?
I want to get only female with dementia and don't want other diagnoses.
Client_Demographic_Details contains one document per patient. Diagnosis contains multiple documents per patient. The ultimate goal is to index my whole data from PostgreSQL DB (72 tables, over 1600 columns in total) into Elasticsearch.
Query:
{'query': {
'bool': {
'must': [
{'nested': {
'path': 'Diagnosis',
'query': {
'bool': {
'must': [{'match_phrase': {'Diagnosis.Diagnosis': {'query': "dementia"}}}]
}
}
}},
{'nested': {
'path': 'Client_Demographic_Details',
'query': {
'bool': {
'must': [{'match_phrase': {'Client_Demographic_Details.Gender_Description': {'query': "female"}}}]
}
}
}}
]
}
}}

Answer 1

Try this
{
"_source": {
"exclude": [
"Client_Demographic_Details",
"Diagnosis"
]
},
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": [
{
"nested": {
"path": "Diagnosis",
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": [
{
"match_phrase": {
"Diagnosis.Diagnosis": {
"query": "dementia"
}
}
}
]
}
},
"inner_hits": {}
}
},
{
"nested": {
"path": "Client_Demographic_Details",
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": [
{
"match_phrase": {
"Client_Demographic_Details.Gender_Description": {
"query": "female"
}
}
}
]
}
},
"inner_hits": {}
}
}
]
}
}
}
Matched doc on nested will be inside inner hits and rest in source.
i know it's not a concrete approach

Answer 2

As #blackmamba suggested, I constructed mapping with Client_Demographic_Details as root object and Diagnosis as a nested object.
Mapping:
{
"denorm2" : {
"aliases" : { },
"mappings" : {
"Patient" : {
"properties" : {
"BRC_ID" : {
"type" : "long"
},
"Diagnosis" : {
"type" : "nested",
"properties" : {
"BRC_ID" : {
"type" : "long"
},
"Diagnosis" : {
"type" : "string"
}
}
},
"Gender_Description" : {
"type" : "string"
}
}
}
},
"settings" : {
"index" : {
"creation_date" : "1474031740689",
"number_of_shards" : "5",
"number_of_replicas" : "1",
"uuid" : "fMeKa6sfThmxkg_281WdHA",
"version" : {
"created" : "2030399"
}
}
},
"warmers" : { }
}
}
Query:
I added source filtering and highlight.
{
'_source': {
'exclude': ['Diagnosis'],
'include': ['BRC_ID', 'Gender_Description']
},
'highlight': {
'fields': {
'Gender_Description': {}
}
},
'query': {
'bool': {
'must': [
{'nested': {
'path': 'Diagnosis',
'query': {
'bool': {
'must': [{'match_phrase': {'Diagnosis.Diagnosis': {'query': "dementia"}}}]
}
},
'inner_hits': {
'highlight': {
'fields': {
'Diagnosis.Diagnosis': {}
}
},
'_source': ['BRC_ID', 'Diagnosis']
}
}},
{'match_phrase': {'Gender_Description': {'query': "female"}}}
]
}
}}
