Hello,
I am using the Java API and loading a complex JSON formatted query from a
text file and using setSource() of the SearchRequestBuilder
to prepare the search. What I like to do now is programmatically overwrite
or change values loaded form source using the Java API, i.e.
json query source:
{
...
"sort" : [
"_score"
],
....
}
SearchRequestBuilder search =
client.prepareSearch("indexname").setSource(json.toString());
search.addSort(SortBuilders.fieldSort("somefield").order(SortOrder.ASC);
I would expect an effective query like:
{
...
"sort" : [
"_score",
{ "somefield" : "asc"}
],
....
}
However, it does not seem to work this way. Debugging the request object
yields something like:
------
indexname!:)
�sort��somefield�orderBasc���� {
...
"sort" : [
"_score"
],
....
-------
Which I would interpret as that the programmatically set values for "sort"
being overwritten by the setSource JSON following after.
I have since found that setting the field "sort" programmatically only
works as I expect it if the JSON source does not contain it at all.
I've tried to use setExtraSource instead of setSource without success.
Is it even possible what I am trying to accomplish here? Or do I need to
find another approach (like using templates, or building the full query
programmatically?)
Thanks
Andreas
