Elasticsearch：深度嵌套聚合下的reverse_nested聚合不起作用

Question

Elasticsearch 版本：2.3.3

基本上，标题说明了一切。如果在第二个嵌套聚合下使用reverse_nested，尽管文档似乎是通过reverse_nested 限定范围的（请参阅结果中的最后一个"doc_count" 字段），但它后面的聚合不会以某种方式工作。

这里我准备了一个例子——一个文档是一个学生，上面有注册日期和考试历史。

映射：

{
    "mappings": {
        "students": {
            "properties": {
                "name": {
                    "type": "string"},
                "enrollment": {
                    "type": "date"},
                "exam_histories": {
                    "type": "nested",
                    "properties": {
                        "date": {
                            "type": "date"},
                        "subjects": {
                            "type": "nested",
                            "properties": {
                                "name": {
                                    "type": "string"},
                                "score": {
                                    "type": "short"}}}}}}}}}

测试文档：

{
    "name": "John",
    "enrollment": "2012-09-01T00:00:00+00:00",
    "exam_histories": [
        {
            "date": "2016-05-05T00:00:00+00:00",
            "subjects": [
                {
                    "name": "math",
                    "score": 90}]}]}

聚合查询（没有实际意义）：

{
    "aggs": {
        "nested_exam_histories": {
            "nested": {
                "path": "exam_histories"},
            "aggs": {
                "date_buckets": {
                    "date_histogram": {
                        "field": "exam_histories.date",
                        "interval": "day"},
                    "aggs": {
                        "this_reverse_nested_does_work": {
                            "reverse_nested": {},
                            "aggs": {
                                "newest_enrollment": {
                                    "max": {
                                        "field": "enrollment"}}}},
                        "deep_nested_subjects": {
                            "nested": {
                                "path": "exam_histories.subjects"},
                            "aggs": {
                                "score_buckets": {
                                    "terms": {
                                        "field": "exam_histories.subjects.score"},
                                    "aggs": {
                                        "this_reverse_nested_doesnt_work": {
                                            "reverse_nested": {},
                                            "aggs": {
                                                "newest_exam_date": {
                                                    "max": {
                                                        "field": "exam_histories.date"}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

结果：

...
"aggregations" : {
    "nested_exam_histories" : {
      "doc_count" : 1,
      "date_buckets" : {
        "buckets" : [ {
          "key_as_string" : "2016-05-05T00:00:00.000Z",
          "key" : 1462406400000,

                  "newest_exam_date" : {
                    "value" : null
                  }

...您可以在其中看到聚合“newest_exam_date”不起作用。是错误还是我做错了什么？

Answer 1

您需要使用path 选项明确指定要“反向聚合”的嵌套对象，否则它假定该字段位于根级别。

来自documentation：

path - 定义了应该加入的嵌套对象字段 背部。默认为空，表示加入回根 /主文件级别。路径不能包含对嵌套的引用 位于嵌套聚合的嵌套之外的对象字段 结构中有一个 reverse_nested。 示例：

{
     "size":0,
   "aggs": {
      "nested_exam_histories": {
         "nested": {
            "path": "exam_histories"
         },
         "aggs": {
            "date_buckets": {
               "date_histogram": {
                  "field": "exam_histories.date",
                  "interval": "day"
               },
               "aggs": {
                  "this_reverse_nested_does_work": {
                     "reverse_nested": {},
                     "aggs": {
                        "newest_enrollment": {
                           "max": {
                              "field": "enrollment"
                           }
                        }
                     }
                  },

                              "field": "exam_histories.subjects.score"
                           },
                           "aggs": {
                              "this_reverse_nested_doesnt_work": {
                                 "reverse_nested": {
                                    "path": "exam_histories"
                                 },
                                 "aggs": {
                                    "newest_exam_date": {
                                       "max": {
                                          "field": "exam_histories.date"
                                       }
                                    }
                                 }
                              }
                           }
                        }
                     }
                  }
               }
            }
         }
      }
   }
}

注意第二个“反向聚合”中的path 选项：

reverse_nested": {
    "path": "exam_histories"
 }
