=== Children Aggregation
|
|
|
|
A special single bucket aggregation that enables aggregating from buckets on parent document types to buckets on child documents.
|
|
|
|
This aggregation relies on the <<mapping-parent-field,_parent field>> in the mapping. This aggregation has a single option:
|
|
|
|
* `type` - The what child type the buckets in the parent space should be mapped to.
|
|
|
|
For example, let's say we have an index of questions and answers. The answer type has the following `_parent` field in the mapping:
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
PUT child_example
|
|
{
|
|
"mappings": {
|
|
"answer" : {
|
|
"_parent" : {
|
|
"type" : "question"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// CONSOLE
|
|
|
|
The question typed document contain a tag field and the answer typed documents contain an owner field. With the `children`
|
|
aggregation the tag buckets can be mapped to the owner buckets in a single request even though the two fields exist in
|
|
two different kinds of documents.
|
|
|
|
An example of a question typed document:
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
PUT child_example/question/1
|
|
{
|
|
"body": "<p>I have Windows 2003 server and i bought a new Windows 2008 server...",
|
|
"title": "Whats the best way to file transfer my site from server to a newer one?",
|
|
"tags": [
|
|
"windows-server-2003",
|
|
"windows-server-2008",
|
|
"file-transfer"
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// CONSOLE
|
|
// TEST[continued]
|
|
|
|
Examples of `answer` typed documents:
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
PUT child_example/answer/1?parent=1&refresh
|
|
{
|
|
"owner": {
|
|
"location": "Norfolk, United Kingdom",
|
|
"display_name": "Sam",
|
|
"id": 48
|
|
},
|
|
"body": "<p>Unfortunately your pretty much limited to FTP...",
|
|
"creation_date": "2009-05-04T13:45:37.030"
|
|
}
|
|
PUT child_example/answer/2?parent=1&refresh
|
|
{
|
|
"owner": {
|
|
"location": "Norfolk, United Kingdom",
|
|
"display_name": "Troll",
|
|
"id": 49
|
|
},
|
|
"body": "<p>Use Linux...",
|
|
"creation_date": "2009-05-05T13:45:37.030"
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// CONSOLE
|
|
// TEST[continued]
|
|
|
|
The following request can be built that connects the two together:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
POST child_example/_search?size=0
|
|
{
|
|
"aggs": {
|
|
"top-tags": {
|
|
"terms": {
|
|
"field": "tags.keyword",
|
|
"size": 10
|
|
},
|
|
"aggs": {
|
|
"to-answers": {
|
|
"children": {
|
|
"type" : "answer" <1>
|
|
},
|
|
"aggs": {
|
|
"top-names": {
|
|
"terms": {
|
|
"field": "owner.display_name.keyword",
|
|
"size": 10
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// CONSOLE
|
|
// TEST[continued]
|
|
|
|
<1> The `type` points to type / mapping with the name `answer`.
|
|
|
|
The above example returns the top question tags and per tag the top answer owners.
|
|
|
|
