=== Scripted Metric Aggregation
|
|
|
|
experimental[]
|
|
|
|
A metric aggregation that executes using scripts to provide a metric output.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
POST ledger/_search?size=0
|
|
{
|
|
"query" : {
|
|
"match_all" : {}
|
|
},
|
|
"aggs": {
|
|
"profit": {
|
|
"scripted_metric": {
|
|
"init_script" : "params._agg.transactions = []",
|
|
"map_script" : "params._agg.transactions.add(doc.type.value == 'sale' ? doc.amount.value : -1 * doc.amount.value)", <1>
|
|
"combine_script" : "double profit = 0; for (t in params._agg.transactions) { profit += t } return profit",
|
|
"reduce_script" : "double profit = 0; for (a in params._aggs) { profit += a } return profit"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// CONSOLE
|
|
// TEST[setup:ledger]
|
|
|
|
<1> `map_script` is the only required parameter
|
|
|
|
The above aggregation demonstrates how one would use the script aggregation compute the total profit from sale and cost transactions.
|
|
|
|
The response for the above aggregation:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
{
|
|
"took": 218,
|
|
...
|
|
"aggregations": {
|
|
"profit": {
|
|
"value": 240.0
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// TESTRESPONSE[s/"took": 218/"took": $body.took/]
|
|
// TESTRESPONSE[s/\.\.\./"_shards": $body._shards, "hits": $body.hits, "timed_out": false,/]
|
|
|
|
The above example can also be specified using stored scripts as follows:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
POST ledger/_search?size=0
|
|
{
|
|
"aggs": {
|
|
"profit": {
|
|
"scripted_metric": {
|
|
"init_script" : {
|
|
"stored": "my_init_script"
|
|
},
|
|
"map_script" : {
|
|
"stored": "my_map_script"
|
|
},
|
|
"combine_script" : {
|
|
"stored": "my_combine_script"
|
|
},
|
|
"params": {
|
|
"field": "amount", <1>
|
|
"_agg": {} <2>
|
|
},
|
|
"reduce_script" : {
|
|
"stored": "my_reduce_script"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// CONSOLE
|
|
// TEST[setup:ledger,stored_scripted_metric_script]
|
|
|
|
<1> script parameters for `init`, `map` and `combine` scripts must be specified
|
|
in a global `params` object so that it can be share between the scripts.
|
|
<2> if you specify script parameters then you must specify `"_agg": {}`.

|
|
|
|
==== Allowed return types
|
|
|
|
Whilst any valid script object can be used within a single script, the scripts must return or store in the `_agg` object only the following types:
|
|
|
|
* primitive types
|
|
* String
|
|
* Map (containing only keys and values of the types listed here)
|
|
* Array (containing elements of only the types listed here)
|
|
|
|
==== Scope of scripts
|
|
|
|
The scripted metric aggregation uses scripts at 4 stages of its execution:
|
|
|
|
init_script:: Executed prior to any collection of documents. Allows the aggregation to set up any initial state.
|
|
+
|
|
In the above example, the `init_script` creates an array `transactions` in the `_agg` object.
|
|
|
|
map_script:: Executed once per document collected. This is the only required script. If no combine_script is specified, the resulting state
|
|
needs to be stored in an object named `_agg`.
|
|
+
|
|
In the above example, the `map_script` checks the value of the type field. If the value is 'sale' the value of the amount field
|
|
is added to the transactions array. If the value of the type field is not 'sale' the negated value of the amount field is added
|
|
to transactions.
|
|
|
|
combine_script:: Executed once on each shard after document collection is complete. Allows the aggregation to consolidate the state returned from
|
|
each shard. If a combine_script is not provided the combine phase will return the aggregation variable.
|
|
+
|
|
In the above example, the `combine_script` iterates through all the stored transactions, summing the values in the `profit` variable
|
|
and finally returns `profit`.
|
|
|
|
reduce_script:: Executed once on the coordinating node after all shards have returned their results. The script is provided with access to a
|
|
variable `_aggs` which is an array of the result of the combine_script on each shard. If a reduce_script is not provided
|
|
the reduce phase will return the `_aggs` variable.
|
|
+
|
|
In the above example, the `reduce_script` iterates through the `profit` returned by each shard summing the values before returning the
|
|
final combined profit which will be returned in the response of the aggregation.
|
|
|
|
==== Worked Example
|
|
|
|
Imagine a situation where you index the following documents into an index with 2 shards:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
PUT /transactions/stock/_bulk?refresh
|
|
{"index":{"_id":1}}
|
|
{"type": "sale","amount": 80}
|
|
{"index":{"_id":2}}
|
|
{"type": "cost","amount": 10}
|
|
{"index":{"_id":3}}
|
|
{"type": "cost","amount": 30}
|
|
{"index":{"_id":4}}
|
|
{"type": "sale","amount": 130}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// CONSOLE
|
|
|
|
Lets say that documents 1 and 3 end up on shard A and documents 2 and 4 end up on shard B. The following is a breakdown of what the aggregation result is
|
|
at each stage of the example above.
|
|
|
|
===== Before init_script
|
|
|
|
No params object was specified so the default params object is used:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
"params" : {
|
|
"_agg" : {}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
===== After init_script
|
|
|
|
This is run once on each shard before any document collection is performed, and so we will have a copy on each shard:
|
|
|
|
Shard A::
|
|
+
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
"params" : {
|
|
"_agg" : {
|
|
"transactions" : []
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Shard B::
|
|
+
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
"params" : {
|
|
"_agg" : {
|
|
"transactions" : []
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
===== After map_script
|
|
|
|
Each shard collects its documents and runs the map_script on each document that is collected:
|
|
|
|
Shard A::
|
|
+
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
"params" : {
|
|
"_agg" : {
|
|
"transactions" : [ 80, -30 ]
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Shard B::
|
|
+
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
"params" : {
|
|
"_agg" : {
|
|
"transactions" : [ -10, 130 ]
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
===== After combine_script
|
|
|
|
The combine_script is executed on each shard after document collection is complete and reduces all the transactions down to a single profit figure for each
|
|
shard (by summing the values in the transactions array) which is passed back to the coordinating node:
|
|
|
|
Shard A:: 50
|
|
Shard B:: 120
|
|
|
|
===== After reduce_script
|
|
|
|
The reduce_script receives an `_aggs` array containing the result of the combine script for each shard:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
"_aggs" : [
|
|
50,
|
|
120
|
|
]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
It reduces the responses for the shards down to a final overall profit figure (by summing the values) and returns this as the result of the aggregation to
|
|
produce the response:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
{
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
"aggregations": {
|
|
"profit": {
|
|
"value": 170
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
==== Other Parameters
|
|
|
|
[horizontal]
|
|
params:: Optional. An object whose contents will be passed as variables to the `init_script`, `map_script` and `combine_script`. This can be
|
|
useful to allow the user to control the behavior of the aggregation and for storing state between the scripts. If this is not specified,
|
|
the default is the equivalent of providing:
|
|
+
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
"params" : {
|
|
"_agg" : {}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
