And Filter

A filter that matches documents using AND boolean operator on other queries. This filter is more performant then bool filter. Can be placed within queries that accept a filter.

{
    "filtered" : {
        "query" : {
            "term" : { "name.first" : "shay" }
        },
        "filter" : {
            "and" : [
                {
                    "range" : {
                        "postDate" : {
                            "from" : "2010-03-01",
                            "to" : "2010-04-01"
                        }
                    }
                },
                {
                    "prefix" : { "name.second" : "ba" }
                }
            ]
        }
    }
}

Caching

The result of the filter is not cached by default. The _cache can be set to true in order to cache it (tough usually not needed). Since the _cache element requires to be set on the and filter itself, the structure then changes a bit to have the filters provided within a filters element:

{
    "filtered" : {
        "query" : {
            "term" : { "name.first" : "shay" }
        },
        "filter" : {
            "and" :
                "filters": [
                    {
                        "range" : {
                            "postDate" : {
                                "from" : "2010-03-01",
                                "to" : "2010-04-01"
                            }
                        }
                    },
                    {
                        "prefix" : { "name.second" : "ba" }
                    }
                ],
                "_cache" : true
            }
        }
    }
}
