ElasticSearch Nested Query formulation - elasticsearch

Question

I have a mapping like this
{
"experience": {
"type": "nested",
"properties": {
"end": {
"type": "string"
},
"organization": {
"type": "nested",
"properties": {
"details": {
"type": "string"
},
"name": {
"type": "string"
}
}
}
}
}
}
Now I want to make a query like this:
{
"nested": {
"path": "experience",
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": [{
"match": {
"experience.organization.name": {
"query": company_name,
"operator": "and"
}
}
}, {
"match": {
"experience.end": "Present"
}
}]
}
}
}
}
The above query is not returning any results, is this the correct way to index and query the above scenario?
I am confused about what should be the value of the path variable since organisation.name and end are not at the same level.

Here is a complete working sample with your code:
PUT index1/test1/_mapping
{
"test1": {
"properties": {
"experience": {
"type": "nested",
"properties": {
"end": {
"type": "string"
},
"organization": {
"type": "nested",
"properties": {
"details": {
"type": "string"
},
"name": {
"type": "string"
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
POST index1/test1
{
"experience": {
"end": "Present",
"organization": {
"name": "org1",
"details": "some details here"
}
}
}
GET index1/test1/_search
{
"query": {
"nested": {
"path": "experience",
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": [
{
"match": {
"end": "present"
}
},
{
"nested": {
"path": "experience.organization",
"query": {
"match": {
"name": "org1"
}
}
}
}
]
}
}
}
}
}
That being said, you have a double nested object here which you will probably find will work against you in the long run. I would consider flattening the data so that the nested is not necessary.
