All document scores are positive 32-bit floating point numbers. However, this
wasn't previously documented.
This can result in surprising behavior, such as precision loss, for users when
customizing scores using the function score query.
This commit updates an existing admonition in the function score query docs to
document the 32-bits precision limit. It also updates the search API reference
docs to note that `_score` is a 32-bit float.
While function scores using scripts do allow explanations, they are only
creatable with an expert plugin. This commit improves the situation for
the newer script score query by adding the ability to set the
explanation from the script itself.
To set the explanation, a user would check for `explanation != null` to
indicate an explanation is needed, and then call
`explanation.set("some description")`.
* Search enhancement: pinned queries (#44345)
Search enhancement: - new query type allows selected documents to be promoted above any "organic” search results.
This is the first feature in a new module `search-business-rules` which will house licensed (non OSS) logic for rewriting queries according to business rules.
The PinnedQueryBuilder class offers a new `pinned` query in the DSL that takes an array of promoted IDs and an “organic” query and ensures the documents with the promoted IDs rank higher than the organic matches.
Closes#44074
* Introduce Spatial Plugin (#44389)
Introduce a skeleton Spatial plugin that holds new licensed features coming to
Geo/Spatial land!
* [GEO] Refactor DeprecatedParameters in AbstractGeometryFieldMapper (#44923)
Refactor DeprecatedParameters specific to legacy geo_shape out of
AbstractGeometryFieldMapper.TypeParser#parse.
* [SPATIAL] New ShapeFieldMapper for indexing cartesian geometries (#44980)
Add a new ShapeFieldMapper to the xpack spatial module for
indexing arbitrary cartesian geometries using a new field type called shape.
The indexing approach leverages lucene's new XYShape field type which is
backed by BKD in the same manner as LatLonShape but without the WGS84
latitude longitude restrictions. The new field mapper builds on and
extends the refactoring effort in AbstractGeometryFieldMapper and accepts
shapes in either GeoJSON or WKT format (both of which support non geospatial
geometries).
Tests are provided in the ShapeFieldMapperTest class in the same manner
as GeoShapeFieldMapperTests and LegacyGeoShapeFieldMapperTests.
Documentation for how to use the new field type and what parameters are
accepted is included. The QueryBuilder for searching indexed shapes is
provided in a separate commit.
* [SPATIAL] New ShapeQueryBuilder for querying indexed cartesian geometry (#45108)
Add a new ShapeQueryBuilder to the xpack spatial module for
querying arbitrary Cartesian geometries indexed using the new shape field
type.
The query builder extends AbstractGeometryQueryBuilder and leverages the
ShapeQueryProcessor added in the previous field mapper commit.
Tests are provided in ShapeQueryTests in the same manner as
GeoShapeQueryTests and docs are updated to explain how the query works.
Currently when a document misses a vector value, vector function
returns 0 as a score for this document. We think this is incorrect
behaviour.
With this change, an error will be thrown if vector functions are
used with docs that are missing vector doc values.
Also VectorScriptDocValues is modified to allow size() function,
which can be used to check if a document has a value for the
vector field.
Typically, dense vectors of both documents and queries must have the same
number of dimensions. Different number of dimensions among documents
or query vector indicate an error. This PR enforces that all vectors
for the same field have the same number of dimensions. It also enforces
that query vectors have the same number of dimensions.
This commit adds a wildcard intervals source, similar to the prefix. It
also changes the term parameter in prefix to read prefix, to bring it
in to line with the pattern parameter in wildcard.
Closes#43198
This commit adds a prefix intervals source, allowing you to search
for intervals that contain terms starting with a given prefix. The source
can make use of the index_prefixes mapping option.
