This change does the following:
- Queries that are currently unsupported such as prefix queries on numeric
fields or term queries on geo fields now throw an error rather than returning
a query that does not match anything.
- Fuzzy queries on numeric, date and ip fields are now unsupported: they used
to create range queries, we now expect users to use range queries directly.
Fuzzy, regexp and prefix queries are now only supported on text/keyword
fields (including `_all`).
- The `_uid` and `_id` fields do not support prefix or range queries anymore as
it would prevent us to store them more efficiently in the future, eg. by
using a binary encoding.
Note that it is still possible to ignore these errors by using the `lenient`
option of the `match` or `query_string` queries.
Currently `fuzziness` is not supported for the `cross_fields` type
of the `multi_match` query since it complicates the logic that
blends the term queries that cross_fields uses internally. At the
moment using this combination is silently ignored, which can lead to
confusions. Instead we should throw an exception in this case.
The same is true for phrase and phrase_prefix type.
Closes#7764
Fix a limitation that prevent from hierarchical inner hits be defined in query dsl.
Removed the nested_path, parent_child_type and query options from inner hits dsl. These options are only set by ES
upon parsing the has_child, has_parent and nested queries are using their respective query builders.
These options are still used internally, when these options are set a new private copy is created based on the
provided InnerHitBuilder and configuring either nested_path or parent_child_type and the inner query of the query builder
being used.
Closes#11118
Both top level and inline inner hits are now covered by InnerHitBuilder.
Although there are differences between top level and inline inner hits,
they now make use of the same builder logic.
The parsing of top level inner hits slightly changed to be more readable.
Before the nested path or parent/child type had to be specified as encapsuting
json object, now these settings are simple fields. Before this was required
to allow streaming parsing of inner hits without missing contextual information.
Once some issues are fixed with inline inner hits (around multi level hierachy of inner hits),
top level inner hits will be deprecated and removed in the next major version.
Currently if you run an `exists` query on an object, it will resolve all sub
fields and create a disjunction for all those fields. However the `_field_names`
mapper indexes paths for objects so we could query object paths directly.
I also changed the query parser to reject `exists` queries if the `_field_names`
field is disabled since it would be a big performance trap.
