Elasticsearch - Mappings and Data Types

Given this mapping snippet:

{"properties": {"tags": {"type": "nested"}}}

Which query will correctly find documents with a tag named "urgent"?

A{"nested": {"path": "tags", "query": {"match": {"tags.name": "urgent"}}}}

B{"match": {"tags.name": "urgent"}}

C{"term": {"tags": "urgent"}}

D{"nested": {"path": "tags", "query": {"term": {"name": "urgent"}}}}

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand nested query structure
To query nested fields, use a nested query with the correct path and field name inside the query.
Step 2: Analyze options
{"nested": {"path": "tags", "query": {"match": {"tags.name": "urgent"}}}} uses nested query with path "tags" and matches "tags.name" correctly. {"match": {"tags.name": "urgent"}} lacks nested wrapper, C uses term on wrong field, D uses term on "name" without path prefix.
Final Answer:
Option A correctly queries nested tags by name -> Option A
Quick Check:
Nested query requires path and full field name [OK]

Quick Trick: Use nested query with path and full field name for nested fields [OK]
