replace current query building with query match_all and filters? about metacpan-client HOT 8 CLOSED

++

You could also use a filtered query if you want the filters to apply to faceting, but I'm guessing MetaCPAN::Client doesn't do faceting.

i remember Sawyer added support for facets (through extra params) but I need to check and add a test for it :)

from metacpan-client.

Even outside of faceting, since most queries we run won't require scoring, the filtered query should be the faster way to go.

@tsibley @oalders: cool, i see what my evening is going to be about ;)
thanks for the tips 👍

@oalders Huh... are you implying that:

{
   "query" : {
      "match_all" : {}
   },
   "filter" : { ... }
}

is slower than

{
   "query" : {
      "filtered" : {
         "query" : {
            "match_all" : {}
         },
         "filter" : { ... }
      }
   }
}

? That'd be surprising to me!

@tsibley No, I'm just reiterating the "Filters can be much faster compared to queries since they don’t perform any scoring, especially when they are cached." from the docs and that it would be nice to be able to filter a query. The filter vs filtered part makes this confusing to talk about.

from metacpan-client.

@oalders Ah, okay! It is indeed confusing to talk about.

this should be possible in last few releases. closing.
thanks all for the fruitful discussion.
