=== Has child query
++++
<titleabbrev>Has child</titleabbrev>
++++
Returns parent documents whose <<parent-join,joined>> child documents match a
provided query. You can create parent-child relationships between documents in
the same index using a <<parent-join,join>> field mapping.
[WARNING]
====
Because it performs a join, the `has_child` is slow compared to other queries.
Its performance degrades as the number of matching child documents pointing to
unique parent documents increases. Each `has_child` query in a search can
increase query time significantly.
If you care about query performance, do not use this query. If you need to use
the `has_child` query, use it as rarely as possible.

==== Example request
[[has-child-index-setup]]
===== Index setup
To use the `has_child` query, your index must include a <<parent-join,join>>
field mapping. For example:
[source,console]
----
PUT /my_index
{
"mappings": {
"properties" : {
"my-join-field" : {
"type" : "join",
"relations": {
"parent": "child"
}
}
}
}
}

// TESTSETUP
[[has-child-query-ex-query]]
===== Example query
[source,console]
----
GET /_search
{
"query": {
"has_child" : {
"type" : "child",
"query" : {
"match_all" : {}
},
"max_children": 10,
"min_children": 2,
"score_mode" : "min"
}
}
}

[[has-child-top-level-params]]
==== Top-level parameters for `has_child`
`type`::
(Required, string) Name of the child relationship mapped for the
<<parent-join,join>> field.
`query`::
(Required, query object) Query you wish to run on child documents of the `type`
field. If a child document matches the search, the query returns the parent
document.
`ignore_unmapped`::
+
--
(Optional, boolean) Indicates whether to ignore an unmapped `type` and not
return any documents instead of an error. Defaults to `false`.
If `false`, {es} returns an error if the `type` is unmapped.
You can use this parameter to query multiple indices that may not contain the
`type`.
--
`max_children`::
(Optional, integer) Maximum number of child documents that match the `query`
allowed for a returned parent document. If the parent document exceeds this
limit, it is excluded from the search results.
`min_children`::
(Optional, integer) Minimum number of child documents that match the `query`
required to match the query for a returned parent document. If the parent
document does not meet this limit, it is excluded from the search results.
`score_mode`::
+
--
(Optional, string) Indicates how scores for matching child documents affect the
root parent document's <<relevance-scores,relevance score>>. Valid values
are:
`none` (Default)::
Do not use the relevance scores of matching child documents. The query assigns
parent documents a score of `0`.
`avg`::
Use the mean relevance score of all matching child documents.
`max`::
Uses the highest relevance score of all matching child documents.
`min`::
Uses the lowest relevance score of all matching child documents.
`sum`::
Add together the relevance scores of all matching child documents.

==== Notes
[[has-child-query-performance]]
===== Sorting
You cannot sort the results of a `has_child` query using standard
<<request-body-search-sort,sort options>>.
If you need to sort returned documents by a field in their child documents, use
a `function_score` query and sort by `_score`. For example, the following query
sorts returned documents by the `click_count` field of their child documents.
[source,console]
----
GET /_search
{
"query": {
"has_child" : {
"type" : "child",
"query" : {
"function_score" : {
"script_score": {
"script": "_score * doc['click_count'].value"
}
}
},
"score_mode" : "max"
}
}
}
