By the looks of it, your tags
is not nested
.
For this aggregation to work, you need it nested
so that there is an association between an id
and a name
. Without nested
the list of id
s is just an array and the list of name
s is another array:
"item": {
"properties": {
"meta": {
"properties": {
"tags": {
"type": "nested", <-- nested field
"include_in_parent": true, <-- to, also, keep the flat array-like structure
"properties": {
"id": {
"type": "integer"
},
"name": {
"type": "string"
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
Also, note that I’ve added to the mapping this line "include_in_parent": true
which means that your nested
tags will, also, behave like a “flat” array-like structure.
So, everything you had so far in your queries will still work without any changes to the queries.
But, for this particular query of yours, the aggregation needs to change to something like this:
{
"aggs": {
"baked_goods": {
"nested": {
"path": "item.meta.tags"
},
"aggs": {
"name": {
"terms": {
"field": "item.meta.tags.id"
},
"aggs": {
"name": {
"terms": {
"field": "item.meta.tags.name"
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
And the result is like this:
"aggregations": {
"baked_goods": {
"doc_count": 9,
"name": {
"doc_count_error_upper_bound": 0,
"sum_other_doc_count": 0,
"buckets": [
{
"key": 123,
"doc_count": 3,
"name": {
"doc_count_error_upper_bound": 0,
"sum_other_doc_count": 0,
"buckets": [
{
"key": "biscuits",
"doc_count": 3
}
]
}
},
{
"key": 456,
"doc_count": 2,
"name": {
"doc_count_error_upper_bound": 0,
"sum_other_doc_count": 0,
"buckets": [
{
"key": "cakes",
"doc_count": 2
}
]
}
},
