AND query in Elasticsearch - json

Question

I'm trying to filter my query by 2 fields, but keep getting error. I'm using the AND query as suggested by Elasticsearch docs (it's actually a 'bool' query), here-
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-post-filter.html
GET /index_v1/user/_search
{
"query": {
"bool": {
"filter": {
{ "term": { "id": "101" }},
{ "term": { "firstName": "John" }}
}
}
}
}
This works-
GET /index_v1/user/_search
{
"query": {
"filtered": {
"query": {
"match": {
"id": "101"
}
}
}
}
}
and returns this-
{
"took": 24,
"timed_out": false,
"_shards": {
"total": 5,
"successful": 5,
"failed": 0
},
"hits": {
"total": 2,
"max_score": 3.442347,
"hits": [
{
"_index": "index_v1",
"_type": "user",
"_id": "1",
"_score": 3.442347,
"_source": {
"id": "101",
"firstName": "John",
"guid": "1001",
"lastName": "Doe",
"email": "john.doe#company.com",
"entitlements": {
"id": "en2"
}
}
},
{
"_index": "index_v1",
"_type": "user",
"_id": "2",
"_score": 3.140066,
"_source": {
"id": "101",
"firstName": "John",
"guid": "1001",
"lastName": "Doe",
"email": "john.doe#company.com",
"tenants": [
{
"id": "12345",
"roles": [
"PrimaryAdmin"
]
}
],
"entitlements": {
"id": "en2"
}
}
}
]
}
}
Here's the mapping document-
{
"index_v1": {
"mappings": {
"user": {
"properties": {
"email": {
"type": "string"
},
"entitlements": {
"properties": {
"id": {
"type": "string"
}
}
},
"firstName": {
"type": "string"
},
"guid": {
"type": "string"
},
"id": {
"type": "string"
},
"lastName": {
"type": "string"
},
"tenants": {
"properties": {
"id": {
"type": "string"
},
"roles": {
"type": "string"
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
Also, how can I add this to AND condition
["tenants"]["id"]="12345"

Answer 1

You have to run a filtered query to use filters. The relevant example you'll want is here.
GET /index_v1/user/_search
{
"query": {
"filtered": {
"query": {
"match_all": {}
},
"filter": {
"and": [
{ "term": { "id": "101" }},
{ "term": { "firstName": "John" }},
{ "term": { "tenants.id": "12345" }}
]
}
}
}
}
That should be roughly it, though I'm sure you'll have to tweak it (I'm a little rusty).
In order for the id fields to match exactly, you'll want to set those fields to be analyzed as keywords in the mapping, otherwise ES will try to get smart with it and give you unexpected results.

The query posted by Nick Larson should work fine, but as far as exactly what is wrong with your query, you are using curly brackets where you should be using square brackets (it's actually invalid JSON syntax, in it's current form). "filter" should be an array, so you have to use square brackets:
GET /index_v1/user/_search
{
"query": {
"bool": {
"filter": [
{ "term": { "id": "101" }},
{ "term": { "firstName": "John" }}
]
}
}
}
