Tablestore:Match query

Prerequisites

• An OTSClient instance is initialized. For more information, see Initialize an OTSClient instance.

• A data table is created and data is written to the data table. For more information, see Create a data table and Write data.

• A search index is created for the data table. For more information, see Create a search index.

Parameters

Sample code

The following sample code provides an example on how to query the rows in which the value of the Col_Keyword column matches "hangzhou" in a table:

/**
 * Query the rows in which the value of the Col_Keyword column matches "hangzhou" in a table. Tablestore returns the total number of rows that meet the query conditions and the specific data of some of these rows. 
 * @param client
 */
private static void matchQuery(SyncClient client) {
    SearchQuery searchQuery = new SearchQuery();
    MatchQuery matchQuery = new MatchQuery(); // Set the query type to MatchQuery. 
    matchQuery.setFieldName("Col_Keyword"); // Specify the name of the column that you want to query. 
    matchQuery.setText("hangzhou"); // Specify the keyword that you want to match. 
    searchQuery.setQuery(matchQuery);
    searchQuery.setOffset(0); // Set offset to 0. 
    searchQuery.setLimit(20); // Set limit to 20 to return up to 20 rows. 
    //searchQuery.setGetTotalCount(true); // Specify that the total number of matched rows is returned. 

    SearchRequest searchRequest = new SearchRequest("<TABLE_NAME>", "<SEARCH_INDEX_NAME>", searchQuery);
    // You can configure the columnsToGet parameter to specify the columns to return or specify that all columns are returned. If you do not configure this parameter, only the primary key columns are returned. 
    //SearchRequest.ColumnsToGet columnsToGet = new SearchRequest.ColumnsToGet();
    //columnsToGet.setReturnAll(true); // Specify that all columns are returned. 
    //columnsToGet.setColumns(Arrays.asList("ColName1","ColName2")); // Specify the columns that you want to return. 
    //searchRequest.setColumnsToGet(columnsToGet);

    SearchResponse resp = client.search(searchRequest);
    //System.out.println("TotalCount: " + resp.getTotalCount()); // Specify that the total number of matched rows instead of the number of returned rows is displayed. 
    System.out.println("Row: " + resp.getRows());
}
            

FAQ

• What do I do if no data can be found by calling the Search operation?

• How do I increase the value of the limit parameter to 1000 when I call the Search operation of the search index feature to query data?

• Why does a token become invalid when pagination is used in a search index-based query?

References

• When you use a search index to query data, you can use the following query methods: term query, terms query, match all query, match query, match phrase query, prefix query, range query, wildcard query, geo query, KNN vector query, Boolean query, nested query, and exists query. After you create a search index, you can use the query methods provided by the search index to query data from multiple dimensions based on your business requirements.

  You can sort or paginate rows that meet the query conditions by using the sorting and paging features. For more information, see Perform sorting and paging.

  You can use the collapse (distinct) feature to collapse the result set based on a specific column. This way, data of the specified type appears only once in the query results. For more information, see Collapse (distinct).

• If you want to analyze data in a table, you can call the Search operation to use the aggregation feature or use the SQL query feature. For example, you can query the maximum and minimum values, the sum of the values, and the number of rows. For more information, see Aggregation and SQL query.

• If you want to obtain all rows that meet the query conditions without the need to sort the rows, you can call the ParallelScan and ComputeSplits operations to use the parallel scan feature. For more information, see Parallel scan.
