一、背景
最近在做基于宴会厅档期的商户搜索推荐时，如果用传统平铺式的mapping结构，无法满足需求场景，于是用到了Elasticsearch支持的Nested(嵌套)查询。
二、普通对象与嵌套对象的索引异同
如果一个对象不是嵌套类型，那么以如下原数据为例：
PUT /my_index/blogpost/1
{ "title":"Nest eggs", "body": "Making your money work...", "tags": [ "cash", "shares" ], "comments":[ { "name": "John Smith", "comment": "Great article", "age": 28, "stars": 4, "date": "2014-09-01" }, { "name": "Alice White", "comment": "More like this please", "age": 31, "stars": 5, "date": "2014-10-22" } ]
}由于是json格式的结构化文档，es会平整成索引内的一个简单键值格式，如下：
{ "title": [ eggs, nest ], "body": [ making, money, work, your ], "tags": [ cash, shares ], "comments.name": [ alice, john, smith, white ], "comments.comment": [ article, great, like, more, please, this ], "comments.age": [ 28, 31 ], "comments.stars": [ 4, 5 ], "comments.date": [ 2014-09-01, 2014-10-22 ]
}这样的话，像这种john/28，Alice/31间的关联性就丢失了，Nested Object就是为了解决这个问题。
将comments指定为Nested类型，如下mapping:
curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/my_index' -d '
{ "mappings":{ "blogpost":{ "properties":{ "comments":{ "type":"nested", //声明为nested类型"properties":{ "name": {"type":"string"}, "comment": { "type": "string"}, "age": { "type": "short"}, "stars": { "type": "short"}, "date": { "type": "date"} } } } } }
}这样，每一个nested对象将会作为一个隐藏的单独文本建立索引，进而保持了nested对象的内在关联关系，如下：
{ ① "comments.name": [ john, smith ], "comments.comment": [ article, great ], "comments.age": [ 28 ], "comments.stars": [ 4 ], "comments.date": [ 2014-09-01 ]
}
{ "comments.name": [ alice, white ], "comments.comment": [ like,more,please,this], "comments.age": [ 31 ],"comments.stars": [ 5 ], "comments.date": [ 2014-10-22 ]
}
{ "title": [ eggs, nest ], "body": [ making, money, work, your ], "tags": [ cash, shares ]
}
①nested object三、嵌套对象的查询
命令查询（输出结果1）：
curl -XGET localhost:9200/yzsshopv1/shop/_search?pretty -d '{"query" : {"bool" : {"filter" : {"nested" : {"path":"hallList","query":{"bool":{"filter":{"term":{"hallList.capacityMin" : "11"}}}}}}}}}'
{"took" : 3,"timed_out" : false,"_shards" : {"total" : 5,"successful" : 5,"failed" : 0},"hits" : {"total" : 1,"max_score" : 0.0,"hits" : [ {"_index" : "yzsshopv1","_type" : "shop","_id" : "89999988","_score" : 0.0,"_source" : {"cityId" : "1","shopName" : "xxxx婚宴(yyyy店)","shopId" : "89999988","categoryId" : [ "55", "165", "2738" ],"hallList" : [ {"hallId" : "20625","schedule" : ["2017-11-10", "2017-11-09"],"capacityMax" : 16,"capacityMin" : 12}, {"hallId" : "21080","schedule" : [ "2017-12-10", "2017-09-09", "2017-02-25"],"capacityMax" : 20,"capacityMin" : 11} ],"wedHotelTagValue" : [ "12087", "9601", "9603", "9602" ],"regionId" : [ "9", "824" ]}} ]}
}java api查询封装：
BoolQueryBuilder boolBuilder = new BoolQueryBuilder();
NestedQueryBuilder nestedQuery = new NestedQueryBuilder("hallList", new TermQueryBuilder("hallList.capacityMin","11")); //注意：除path之外，fieldName也要带上path (hallList)boolBuilder.filter(nestedQuery);
searchRequest.setQuery(boolBuilder); //设置查询条件java api输出字段封装：
searchRequest.addField("shopId");
searchRequest.addField("hallList. schedule");
searchRequest.addField("hallList.capacityMin");
searchRequest.addField("hallList.capacityMax");如果输出的outputField为searchRequest.addField("hallList")，则会报错：illegal_argument_exception,reason:field [hallList] isn't a leaf field;
如果输出的outputField为searchRequest.addField("capacityMin")，则不报错，但没有capacityMin字段的值；
正确调用search后的输出结果（输出结果2）:
{"took" : 8,"timed_out" : false,"_shards" : {"total" : 5,"successful" : 5,"failed" : 0},"hits" : {"total" : 1,"max_score" : 0.0,"hits" : [{"_index" : "yzsshopv1","_type" : "shop","_id" : "89999988","_score" : 0.0,"fields" : {"shopId" : [ "89999988" ],"hallList.hallId" : [ "20625", "21080"],"hallList.capacityMin" : [12, 11 ],"hallList.capacityMax" : [16, 20 ],"hallList.schedule" : [ "2017-11-10", "2017-11-09", "2017-12-10", "2017-09-09", "2017-02-25"]}}]}
}对比输出结果1和2发现，命令输出嵌套对象结果1没问题，但通过java api输出结果2时，嵌套对象内部的关系也会打乱，比如hallList.schedule字段，无法区分到底哪些值属于hallList.hallId-20625，哪些属于21080。
//============以下更新20170331===========
经过后续调试，发现要让java api输出正确结果的嵌套对象，不能通过searchRequest.addField的方式，因为嵌套对象并不是叶子节点，需要通过以下的方式添加输出字段:
searchRequest.setFetchSource(new String[]{"shopId","hallList"},new String[]{});还有一个不足点是： 嵌套查询请求返回的是整个文本，而不仅是匹配的nested文本。
