[Discover] Use fields API to retrieve fields #83891

majagrubic · 2020-11-20T08:38:26Z

Summary

Release Notes: Support mapping defined runtime fields in Discover

This change implements the usage of the fields API in Discover. Changes are hidden behind a UI setting; if the value is off, everything is (supposed to be) working as previously.

Some notable changes:

fields column is formatted similarly to _source and in many ways behaves exactly like _source (ie. it's removed when a new column is added and cannot be removed if only column left)
support for multi-fields in the sidebar
using fields API will retrieve runtime fields 🎉 (follow the instructions here to create runtime fields for testing)

Current limitations of this PR:

expanded doc view hasn't been formatted when using the fields API (fields are not sorted and multifields are not grouped together) -> will be added in a follow-up PR
no support for unmapped fields, ie. Discover doesn't show unmapped fields -> will be added in a follow-up PR
tackling _source as a default column in the existing saved searches

Hurray for Clarice Salazar, who finally got a name also when using multi fields 🥳

I just synced with Stacey about the backwardscompatibility mode again and wanted to leave some notes:

We should not use _source to query unmapped fields (until 8.0), but should use the [include_unmapped] option in the fields section of the API, which is developed in Support unmapped fields in search 'fields' option elasticsearch#65386 (issue: Support unmapped fields in search 'fields' option. elasticsearch#63690)
We should not set this for newly created saved searches, they should no longer show unmapped fields at all (the behavior we'll also enforce from 8.0 on for existing saved objects), meaning I think we don't want a global switch, but basically a "hidden" flag that will be used to set include_unmapped.

We still need to evaluate how include_unmapped works with * as a field, so can we simply set { field: '*', include_unmapped: true } or do we need to list them more specifically, since all the ES docs never show them used with a pure wildcard.

Code LGTM, tested locally in Firefox, Chrome, Safari. Works! Great work 🥇!.keyword, runtime fields, alias fields they suddenly make sense. Could you open an issue to track remaining stuff that needs to be done? many thx!

Hi, just wondering how do we get the fixed for this issue? We are using 7.3.1 Kibana, and we also see the same problem which is alias in Discover is not showing any value on the alias field, but only have value in actual text field.

Would be good if someone can tell us how do we fetch the changes, is it we just need to clone the latest code to the repo, then we will get the soluton.
