== Has Child Query
|
|
|
|
The `has_child` filter accepts a query and the child type to run against, and
|
|
results in parent documents that have child docs matching the query. Here is
|
|
an example:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
{
|
|
"has_child" : {
|
|
"type" : "blog_tag",
|
|
"query" : {
|
|
"term" : {
|
|
"tag" : "something"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
=== Scoring capabilities
|
|
|
|
The `has_child` also has scoring support. The
|
|
supported score types are `min`, `max`, `sum`, `avg` or `none`. The default is
|
|
`none` and yields the same behaviour as in previous versions. If the
|
|
score type is set to another value than `none`, the scores of all the
|
|
matching child documents are aggregated into the associated parent
|
|
documents. The score type can be specified with the `score_mode` field
|
|
inside the `has_child` query:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
{
|
|
"has_child" : {
|
|
"type" : "blog_tag",
|
|
"score_mode" : "sum",
|
|
"query" : {
|
|
"term" : {
|
|
"tag" : "something"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
=== Min/Max Children
|
|
|
|
The `has_child` query allows you to specify that a minimum and/or maximum
|
|
number of children are required to match for the parent doc to be considered
|
|
a match:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
{
|
|
"has_child" : {
|
|
"type" : "blog_tag",
|
|
"score_mode" : "sum",
|
|
"min_children": 2, <1>
|
|
"max_children": 10, <1>
|
|
"query" : {
|
|
"term" : {
|
|
"tag" : "something"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
<1> Both `min_children` and `max_children` are optional.
|
|
|
|
The `min_children` and `max_children` parameters can be combined with
|
|
the `score_mode` parameter.
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
=== Memory Considerations
|
|
|
|
In order to support parent-child joins, all of the (string) parent IDs
|
|
must be resident in memory (in the <<index-modules-fielddata,field data cache>>.
|
|
Additionally, every child document is mapped to its parent using a long
|
|
value (approximately). It is advisable to keep the string parent ID short
|
|
in order to reduce memory usage.
|
|
|
|
You can check how much memory is being used by the `_parent` field in the fielddata cache
|
|
using the <<indices-stats,indices stats>> or <<cluster-nodes-stats,nodes stats>>
|
|
APIS, eg:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
curl -XGET "http://localhost:9200/_stats/fielddata?pretty&human&fielddata_fields=_parent"
