Elasticsearch - Mappings and Data Types

Given this Elasticsearch mapping:

{ "properties": { "status": { "type": "keyword" }, "description": { "type": "text" } } }

Which query will correctly retrieve documents where status is exactly active?

A{ "match": { "status": "active" } }

B{ "term": { "status": "active" } }

C{ "match_phrase": { "status": "active" } }

D{ "query_string": { "query": "status:active" } }

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand the field type
The status field is of type keyword, which stores exact values without analysis.
Step 2: Choose the correct query type
For exact matches on keyword fields, the term query is appropriate because it does not analyze the input.
Step 3: Evaluate other options
match and match_phrase analyze the input and are suited for text fields. query_string can work but is more complex and less precise here.
Final Answer:
{ "term": { "status": "active" } } -> Option B
Quick Check:
Use term query for exact keyword matches [OK]

Quick Trick: Use term query for exact keyword field filtering [OK]
