Query DSL
editQuery DSL
editElasticsearch provides a full Query DSL based on JSON to define queries. Think of the Query DSL as an AST of queries, consisting of two types of clauses:
- Leaf query clauses
-
Leaf query clauses look for a particular value in a particular field, such as the
match,termorrangequeries. These queries can be used by themselves. - Compound query clauses
-
Compound query clauses wrap other leaf or compound queries and are used to combine
multiple queries in a logical fashion (such as the
boolordis_maxquery), or to alter their behaviour (such as theconstant_scorequery).
Query clauses behave differently depending on whether they are used in query context or filter context.
