# Nested aggregations
|
||
|
||
The `nested` aggregation lets you aggregate on fields inside a nested object. The `nested` type is a specialized version of the object data type that allows arrays of objects to be indexed in a way that they can be queried independently of each other
|
||
|
||
With the `object` type, all the data is stored in the same document, so matches for a search can go across sub documents. For example, imagine a `logs` index with `pages` mapped as an `object` datatype:
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
PUT logs/_doc/0
|
||
{
|
||
"response": "200",
|
||
"pages": [
|
||
{
|
||
"page": "landing",
|
||
"load_time": 200
|
||
},
|
||
{
|
||
"page": "blog",
|
||
"load_time": 500
|
||
}
|
||
]
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
{% include copy-curl.html %}
|
||
|
||
OpenSearch merges all sub-properties of the entity relations that looks something like this:
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
{
|
||
"logs": {
|
||
"pages": ["landing", "blog"],
|
||
"load_time": ["200", "500"]
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
So, if you wanted to search this index with `pages=landing` and `load_time=500`, this document matches the criteria even though the `load_time` value for landing is 200.
|
||
|
||
If you want to make sure such cross-object matches don’t happen, map the field as a `nested` type:
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
PUT logs
|
||
{
|
||
"mappings": {
|
||
"properties": {
|
||
"pages": {
|
||
"type": "nested",
|
||
"properties": {
|
||
"page": { "type": "text" },
|
||
"load_time": { "type": "double" }
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
{% include copy-curl.html %}
|
||
|
||
Nested documents allow you to index the same JSON document but will keep your pages in separate Lucene documents, making only searches like `pages=landing` and `load_time=200` return the expected result. Internally, nested objects index each object in the array as a separate hidden document, meaning that each nested object can be queried independently of the others.
|
||
|
||
You have to specify a nested path relative to parent that contains the nested documents:
|
||
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
GET logs/_search
|
||
{
|
||
"query": {
|
||
"match": { "response": "200" }
|
||
},
|
||
"aggs": {
|
||
"pages": {
|
||
"nested": {
|
||
"path": "pages"
|
||
},
|
||
"aggs": {
|
||
"min_load_time": { "min": { "field": "pages.load_time" } }
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
{% include copy-curl.html %}
|
||
|
||
#### Example response
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
...
|
||
"aggregations" : {
|
||
"pages" : {
|
||
"doc_count" : 2,
|
||
"min_price" : {
|
||
"value" : 200.0
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
