You can use prefix query to query data that matches a specified prefix. If the type of a field is TEXT, Tablestore tokenizes the string and matches tokens by using the specified prefix.

Prerequisites

  • The TableStoreClient is initialized. For more information, see Initialization.
  • A data table is created. Data is written to the table.
  • A search index is created for the data table. For more information, see Create search indexes.

Parameters

ParameterDescription
TableNameThe name of the table.
IndexNameThe name of the search index.
QueryThe query type. To use prefix query, set this parameter to PrefixQuery.
FieldNameThe name of the field used to match the query conditions.
PrefixThe value of the prefix.

If the field used to match the query conditions is a TEXT field, the field values are tokenized. A row meets the query conditions when the tokenized value of the specified field contains at least one term that contains the specified prefix.

GetTotalCountSpecifies whether to return the total number of rows that match the query conditions. By default, this parameter is set to false, which indicates that the total number of rows that match the query conditions is not returned.

Query performance is affected when this parameter is set to true.

ColumnsToGetSpecifies whether to return all columns of each matched row. You can configure ReturnAll and Columns for this parameter.

By default, ReturnAll is set to false, which indicates that not all columns are returned. If ReturnAll is set to false, you can configure Columns to specify the columns to return. If you do not specify the columns to return, only the primary key columns are returned.

If ReturnAll is set to true, all columns are returned.

Examples

/**
 * Search the table for rows where the value of Col_Keyword contains the prefix that exactly matches "hangzhou".
 */
func PrefixQuery(client *tablestore.TableStoreClient, tableName string, indexName string) {
    searchRequest := &tablestore.SearchRequest{}
    searchRequest.SetTableName(tableName)
    searchRequest.SetIndexName(indexName)
    query := &search.PrefixQuery{} // Set the query type to PrefixQuery.
    query.FieldName = "Col_Keyword" // Set the field used to match the query conditions.
    query.Prefix = "hangzhou" // Specify the prefix.
    searchQuery := search.NewSearchQuery()
    searchQuery.SetQuery(query)
    searchQuery.SetGetTotalCount(true)
    searchRequest.SetSearchQuery(searchQuery)
    // Set ReturnAll to true to return all columns.
    searchRequest.SetColumnsToGet(&tablestore.ColumnsToGet{
        ReturnAll:true,
    })
    searchResponse, err := client.Search(searchRequest)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Printf("%#v", err)
        return
    }
    fmt.Println("IsAllSuccess: ", searchResponse.IsAllSuccess) // Check whether all data is returned.
    fmt.Println("TotalCount: ", searchResponse.TotalCount) // Display the total number of matched rows.
    fmt.Println("RowCount: ", len(searchResponse.Rows))
    for _, row := range searchResponse.Rows {
        jsonBody, err := json.Marshal(row)
        if err != nil {
            panic(err)
        }
        fmt.Println("Row: ", string(jsonBody))
    }
