Is it possible to control the order of methods when chaining multiple?

[teddieliljekvist]

I am trying to implement something that functions like post_filter, to be able to return aggregations not included in the filter.
When I try to build a query with query, aggregations and filter, in that order, bodybuilder re-orders the methods and generates the filter before everything else.

Is it possible to achieve this result or something that functions the same way?

{
  "query": {
    "match": {
      "rvcategory": "kilim"
    }
  },
  "aggregations": {
    "agg_terms_rvcategory": {
      "terms": {
        "field": "rvcategory"
      }
    },
    "agg_terms_shape": {
      "terms": {
        "field": "shape"
      }
    }
  },
  "filter": {
    "term": {
      "shape": "rectangular"
    }
  },
  "size": 10,
  "from": 0
}

bodybuilder()
		.query("match", "rvcategory", "kilim")
        .filter('term', 'shape')
        .agg('terms', 'rvcategory')
		.agg('terms', 'shape')
		.size(10)
		.from(0)
        .build()

It seems like you're encountering a challenge with the order of operations in your query. Have you considered using a nested aggregation within a filtered aggregation? This way, you can achieve the desired review result of returning aggregations not included in the filter. Here's an example structure you could try:

json
Copy code
{
"query": {
"match": {
"rvcategory": "kilim"
}
},
"aggregations": {
"filtered_agg": {
"filter": {
"term": {
"shape": "rectangular"
}
},
"aggregations": {
"agg_terms_rvcategory": {
"terms": {
"field": "rvcategory"
}
},
"agg_terms_shape": {
"terms": {
"field": "shape"
}
}
}
}
},
"size": 10,
"from": 0
}
This way, the agg_terms_rvcategory and agg_terms_shape aggregations will be computed after applying the filter. Remember to adapt the field names to match your specific mapping.
