Log Context

Log “[” + NAME + “] no relation found for child [” + type + “]”classname  is ParentIdQueryBuilder.java We extracted the following from Elasticsearch source code for those seeking an in-depth context :

final ParentIdFieldMapper childMapper = joinFieldMapper.getParentIdFieldMapper(type; false);
 if (childMapper == null) {
 if (ignoreUnmapped) {
 return new MatchNoDocsQuery();
 } else {
 throw new QueryShardException(context; "[" + NAME + "] no relation found for child [" + type + "]");
 }
 }
 return new BooleanQuery.Builder()
 .add(childMapper.fieldType().termQuery(id; context); BooleanClause.Occur.MUST)
 // Need to take child type into account; otherwise a child doc of different type with the same id could match
