I am new to the Elastic search world.Basically I am trying to retrieve the nested objects based on the ID.This is the JSON representation of my document.
{
"_index": "xyz",
"_type": "abc",
"_id": "12",
"_version": 1,
"found": true,
"_source":
{
"lastModifiedBy": "12",
"lastModifiedDate": "2015-12-31T19:45:29.493Z",
"profile":
[
{
"type": "nested",
"views":
[
{
"type": "nested",
"id": "view1",
"name": "view1",
"properties":
[
{
"name": "default",
"value": false
}
],
"widgets":
[
{
"type": "nested",
"id": "graph",
"name": "graph",
"elementId": "ui_graph",
"properties":
[
{
"name": "currency",
"value": "YEN"
}
]
}
]
}
} ] } ]
I am trying to get the widgets based on the view id.This is the my search query.
"query" : {
"term" : {
"_id" : "12"
}
},
"post_filter" : {
"nested" : {
"query" : {
"filtered" : {
"query" : {
"match_all" : { }
},
"filter" : {
"term" : {
"profile.views.id" : "view1"
}
}
}
},
"path" : "profile.views"
}
}
}
I am not sure what is wrong here.But getting "nested object under path [profile.views] is not of nested type]".
Below is my mapping structure
{
"xyz": {
"mappings": {
"abc": {
"properties": {
"lastModifiedBy": {
"type": "string"
},
"lastModifiedDate": {
"type": "date",
"format": "dateOptionalTime"

}
},
"type": {

}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
Please help!
You are getting the error because you have not specified type as nested for profile and views. Refer to the Docs for how to created nested objects . You should be defining type as nested for every nested object like this
{
"xyz": {
"mappings": {
"abc": {
"properties": {
"lastModifiedBy": {
"type": "string"
},
"lastModifiedDate": {
"type": "date",
"format": "dateOptionalTime"
},
"name": {
"type": "string"
},
"profile": {
"type": "nested", <--- here, you need this for every nested object
"properties": {
"lastModifiedBy": {
"type": "string"
},
"lastModifiedDate": {
"type": "date",
"format": "dateOptionalTime"
},
"type": {
"type": "string"
},
"views": {
"type": "nested",
"properties": {
"id": {
"type": "string"
},
"isDefault": {
"type": "boolean"
},
"name": {
"type": "string"
},
"properties": {
"type": "nested",
"properties": {
"name": {
"type": "string"
},
"type": {
"type": "string"
},
"value": {
"type": "string"
}
}
},

},
"viewId": {

},
"widgets": {
"type": "nested",
"properties": {
"elementId": {

},
"id": {

},
"name": {

},
"properties": {
"type": "nested",
"properties": {

Hope this helps!!
I have problems with using jsonschema2pojo in my code.
So, I use jsonschema2pojo generator(http://www.jsonschema2pojo.org/) to generate POJO's from this URL: http://store.steampowered.com/api/appdetails/?appids=10
Finally, I create all these class in one package 'model'.
Then in I try use it to read json from link but I receive exception:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at controller.View.main(View.java:26)
I don't understand why.
Here is code How I can do it:
public class View {
private static String urlStr = "http://store.steampowered.com/api/appdetails/?appids=10";
public static void main(String[] args) {
ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
try {
Game game = objectMapper.readValue(new URL(urlStr), Game.class);
System.out.println(game.getData().getName());
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (JsonParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (JsonMappingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
The Game.class is finall class which I set in generator as 'Class name'.
What is wrong? How can I get all these data from this link?
In maven I configure it like that:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jsonschema2pojo</groupId>
<artifactId>jsonschema2pojo-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>0.4.18</version>
<configuration>
<sourceType>jsonschema</sourceType>

<configuration>
<targetPackage>model.game</targetPackage>
<sourceDirectory>${basedir}/src/main/resources/schema/game</sourceDirectory>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>

As I said, all classes are in src/main/java and package 'model', my schema is in sr/main/resources/schema/ in file 'game'
And my schema looks like:

With this config I can read all data using this line instead of before System.out.println:
System.out.println( objectMapper.writeValueAsString( game ) );
Now I can see full json string, but how can I read it using 'game.getData().getName()' etc ?
The JSON schema that you gave defines "10" as a top-level property containing everything else.
{
"type": "object",
"required":false,
"javaType":"model.Game",
"properties": {
"10": {
"id": "10",
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"success": {
"id": "success",
"type": "boolean"
},
"data": {
"id": "data",
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"type": {
"id": "type",
"type": "string"
},
"name": {
"id": "name",
"type": "string"
},
...
jsonschema2pojo reads that schema and generates a class named _10 as part of the model. You can find this in _10.java in the generated-sources directory.
#JsonInclude(JsonInclude.Include.NON_NULL)
#Generated("org.jsonschema2pojo")
#JsonPropertyOrder({
"success",
"data"
})
public class _10 {
I don't know if this was intentional in the schema. If it's intentional, then you would need to access the name like this.
System.out.println(game.get10().getData().getName());
I was able to get it working after making that change.
EDIT: It appears these JSON messages are expected to have a variable ID as a top-level key containing everything else, so we need to handle this a bit differently. We can generalize the schema so that it isn't specific to a particular ID, and then we can use a two-step process to parse the message. First, we'll use [ObjectMapper#readValue](https://fasterxml.github.io/jackson-databind/javadoc/2.5/com/fasterxml/jackson/databind/ObjectMapper.html#readValue(java.net.URL, com.fasterxml.jackson.core.type.TypeReference)) to parse the whole message into a Map<String, Object>. We expect that top-level map will contain a single element, corresponding to the ID of the document we requested, and its value will be a sub-map containing the values we're interested in. We'll then pass that sub-map through [ObjectMapper#convertValue](https://fasterxml.github.io/jackson-databind/javadoc/2.5/com/fasterxml/jackson/databind/ObjectMapper.html#convertValue(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Class)) to get the Game object that we want.

The JSON schema file is too large to paste, so here is a link to a gist.
View.java
import java.net.URI;
import java.util.Map;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.core.type.TypeReference;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
import model.Game;
public class View {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
String id = args[0];
URI uri = new URI("http", "store.steampowered.com", "/api/appdetails",
"appids=" + id, null);
ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
Map<String, Object> obj = objectMapper.readValue(uri.toURL(),
new TypeReference<Map<String, Object>>(){});
Game game = objectMapper.convertValue(obj.get(id), Game.class);
System.out.println(game.getData().getName());
}
}

Half-Life 2: Demo
Additionally, I needed to make one other change to the schema. I removed the linux_requirements property. This is because looking at document 10 vs. document 219, it's an object in the former and it's an array in the latter. For document 219, the parser didn't know how to make sense of the array, because we were expecting an object. It's odd for data returned from an API to be inconsistent like this. You might need to do some more tinkering with the schema to get this fully working for all possible JSON documents returned from that API.
I have put all of the code into a GitHub repository. You can take that code, build it and run it to see it working. Then, you can adapt it further to your needs.
Instead of trying to model the object containing the ids with properties, use additionalProperties. Assuming that the top level type contains several games, you could try replacing
{
"type": "object",
"required":false,
"javaType":"model.Game",
"properties": {
"10": {
"id": "10",
"type": "object",
...
}
}
}
with something like
{
"type": "object",
"required":false,
"javaType":"model.Games",
"additionalProperties": {
"id": "game",
"type": "object",
"javaType": "model.Game"
...
}
}
This should make a model.Games type with a method like public Map<String, Game> getAdditionalProperties().
I am new to Elastic Search.
I have a User mapping and associated with the User is a Nested Object extraDataValues. In this object is the id, a string value and another nested object. For example:
"extraDataValues": [
{
"id": 1,
"value": "01/01/2016 00:00:00",
"id": 10,
"label": "Metadata Date",
"displayable": true
},
},
{
"id": 2,
"value": "aaaa",
"id": 11,
"label": "Metadata TextBox",
"displayable": true
},
}
],
As you can see, value field can be a date or a normal string. The problem arises here, I want to be able to sort this value given that it could be either a date or a normal string. Moreover, the date can be in two formats: "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss", "dd/MM/yyyy". How can I achieve this firstly with Elastic Search (so I can understand the theory) and then Java?
I have tried adding "dynamic_date_formats" : ["dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss", "dd/MM/yyyy"]
to no avail.
The mapping for the Users is:
User Mapping Document
{
"User": {
"properties": {
"fullName": {
"type": "string",
"index": "not_analyzed",
"fields": {
"raw_lower_case": {
"type": "string",
"analyzer": "case_insensitive"
}
}
},
"username": {
"type": "string",
"index": "not_analyzed",
"fields": {
"raw_lower_case": {
"type": "string",
"analyzer": "case_insensitive"
}
}
},
"email": {
"type": "string",
"index": "not_analyzed",
"fields": {
"raw_lower_case": {
"type": "string",
"analyzer": "case_insensitive"
}
}
},
"firstName": {
"type": "string",
"index": "not_analyzed",
"fields": {
"raw_lower_case": {
"type": "string",
"analyzer": "case_insensitive"
}
}
},
"surname": {
"type": "string",
"index": "not_analyzed",
"fields": {
"raw_lower_case": {
"type": "string",
"analyzer": "case_insensitive"
}
}
},
"id": {
"type": "long"
},
"extraDataValues": {
"type": "nested",
"dynamic_date_formats" : ["dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss", "dd/MM/yyyy"],
"properties": {
"extraDataValueObject": {
"properties": {
"id": {
"type": "long"
},
"label": {
"type": "string"
},
"displayable": {
"type": "boolean"
}
}
},
"value": {
"type": "string",
"index": "not_analyzed",
"fields": {
"raw_lower_case": {
"type": "string",
"analyzer": "case_insensitive"
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
You can't do that the way you are trying to do it. dynamic_date_formats are used only for dynamically added date fields, not for date fields that you specify in your mapping (from the documentation).
What I would suggest trying out is this mapping:
"value": {
"type": "string",
"fields": {
"date1": {
"type": "date",
"format": "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss",
"ignore_malformed": "true"
},
"date2": {
"type": "date",
"format": "dd/MM/yyyy",
"ignore_malformed": "true"
}
}
}
Where you have a field which is string (for the string type part of the value) and for it you define two subfields each with a different date format. It's imperative to have for them "ignore_malformed": "true" in case you really have a string instead of a date coming in.
In this way you can index this:
POST /my_index/user/1
{
"value": "aaa"
}
POST /my_index/user/2
{
"value": "01/01/2016 00:00:00"
}
POST /my_index/user/3
{
"value": "02/02/2016"
}
And you could differentiate between which type of date or string was indexed like this in a query:
"query": {
"filtered": {
"filter": {
"exists": {
"field": "value.date2"
}
}
}
}
If ES was able to index something under value.date2 then you get that document back. The same goes for value.date1, of course.
