Syntax

TFT.CREATEINDEX index mappings settings

Command description

Creates an index and a mapping for the index. The syntax used to create a mapping is similar to that used to create an explicit mapping in Elasticsearch. For more information, see Explicit mapping. You must create an index before you can add documents to the index.

Parameter

• index: the name of the index that you want to manage by running this command.

• mappings: the mapping content. The following syntax is supported:

  • dynamic: the mapping mode. The strict mapping mode is supported. Only fields that have been specified in properties can be written. If you do not specify the mapping mode, non-strict mapping is used. In non-strict mode, the system does not check whether the fields to be written have been specified in properties.

  • enabled: forcefully checks whether the field types in a document to be written are the same as those specified in properties. If they are not the same, the document cannot be written. Valid values: true and false. The default value is true, which indicates that a forceful check is performed. This parameter takes effect only for non-indexed fields (index set to false). For indexed fields, a forceful check is performed.

  • _source: the source of the original document. This parameter does not affect the creation of field indexes. Valid values:

    enabled: specifies whether to store the original document. Valid values:

    • true: stores the original document. By default, enabled is set to true and all fields in the document are stored.

      You can set excludes to specify the fields that you do not want to store in the original document and includes to specify the fields that you want to store. Wildcards are accepted. If a field is specified by both excludes and includes, excludes takes precedence over includes and the field is not stored in the original document.

      Example 1: "_source":{"enabled":true} (default) specifies to store all fields and works like "_source":{"enabled":true,"excludes":[],"includes":[]}.

      Example 2: "_source":{"enabled":true,"excludes":[],"includes":["id","name"]} specifies to store only the id and name fields.

    • false: does not store the original document.

  • properties: a collection of mapped fields. You can set the following attributes for each field:

    • index: specifies whether to set the field to an index field. Default value: true. Valid values:

      • true: sets the field to an index field. In this case, you can query documents only by using index fields.

        Tair stores the original documents of all index fields in memory. If _source is set to "enabled":false for this field, the returned original documents of a query do not contain this field.

      • false: does not set the field to an index field.

    • boost: the weight of the field. Default value: 1. The parameter value must be a positive floating-point number. Tair automatically calculates the estimated relative score of each field.

    • type: the data type of the field. The ARRAY data type is supported. This property has the following valid values.

      Note

      For example, to use a keyword array, you must specify keyword[] as the type parameter. Example: TFT.CREATEINDEX idx:pro '{"mappings":{"properties":{"f0":{"type":"keyword[]"}}}}'.

      • keyword: a string that cannot be split. Valid values:

        • ignore_above: the maximum number of characters that can be contained in the keyword string. Default value: 128. Example: "ignore_above":128.

        • similarity: the similarity algorithm. Valid values: classic and BM25. Default value: classic. classic indicates the Term Frequency - Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) algorithm. BM25 indicates the Okapi BM25 algorithm. Example: TFT.CREATEINDEX idx:pro '{"mappings":{"properties":{"fs0":{"type":"keyword","similarity":"BM25"}}}}'. You can also specify custom parameters of the Okapi BM25 algorithm by using the settings parameter.

      • text: a string that can be parsed by an analyzer and then stored in an index. Valid values:

        • analyzer: parses the string in text to store the results in an index. Default value: standard.

          • You can choose an analyzer from TairSearch built-in analyzers that include standard, jieba (recommended analyzer for Chinese that works better than chinese), stop, IK, pattern, whitespace, simple, keyword, chinese, french, dutch, and russian. For example, "analyzer":"jieba" indicates that the jieba analyzer for Chinese is used. For more information, see the "Built-in analyzers" section of the "Search analyzers" topic.

          • You can also define a custom analyzer by using syntax such as "analyzer":"my_custom_analyzer" and then configure the analyzer by setting the analysis parameter in settings.

        • search_analyzer: the tokenizer that is used in the search. The supported tokenizer types are the same as those supported by the analyzer parameter. The default value of this parameter is the same as that of the analyzer parameter.

        • similarity: the similarity algorithm. Valid values: classic and BM25. Default value: classic. classic indicates the TF-IDF algorithm. BM25 indicates the Okapi BM25 algorithm. You can also specify custom parameters of the Okapi BM25 algorithm by using the settings parameter.

      • long: the LONG data type. You can convert a point in time into a UNIX timestamp and store the timestamp as a piece of LONG-type data.

      • integer: the INTEGER data type.

      • double: the DOUBLE data type. Special data types such as NAN, INF, and -INF are not supported.

• settings: the index settings. This parameter is optional. Fields in the parameter:

  • analysis: the custom analyzer. For more information, see the "Custom analyzers" section of the "Search analyzers" topic.

  • index: a custom similarity algorithm. You can modify the parameters of the Okapi BM25 algorithm. Example: TFT.CREATEINDEX idx:pro15 '{"mappings":{"properties":{"fs0":{"type":"keyword","similarity":"my_similarity"}}},"settings":{"index":{"similarity":{"my_similarity":{"type":"BM25","k1": 1.0,"b": 1.0}}}}}'. Fields:

    • k1: the relevance of the frequency of a given term in a document to the weighting of the term. The greater the value is, the more relevant the frequency is to the weighting. Default value: 1.2. You must specify a value that is greater than 0.

    • b: the relevance of the document size to the weighting of a given term. The greater the value is, the more relevant the document size is to the weighting. Default value: 0.75. Valid values: 0 to 1.

  • queries_cache: the cache that stores query results. By default, a maximum of 10,000 query results can be cached without a limit on the memory usage. After the number of cached query results reaches 10,000, the LRU algorithm is used to evict the least recently used query results from the cache. The queries_cache parameter has the size and ttl fields. Valid values:

    • size: the maximum amount of memory that can be used for query caching. Data type: STRING. If this value is exceeded, the LRU algorithm is used to evict the least recently used query results from the cache.

      The default unit of this field is bytes. For example, "size":"1000" specifies that query caching can consume a maximum of 1,000 bytes worth of memory. You can also use KB or MB as the unit of this field. Examples: "size":"10kb" and "size":"1mb".

    • ttl: the validity period of a cached query result. Data type: INTEGER. Default value: 10. Unit: seconds.

    Example: "settings":{"queries_cache":{"size":"100mb","ttl":3}}.

    queries_cache is a node-level parameter. After you configure this parameter in an index, other indexes in the same process are affected. Therefore, we recommend that you set queries_cache to the same value for all indexes in a process.

  • compress_doc: specifies whether to enable document compression. If you enable this feature, it can increase CPU resource consumption and read/write latencies. Therefore, we recommend that you enable document compression only if the index is large (such as in kilobytes) and storage cost is your top concern. Valid values:

    • size: the minimum size of a document to be considered for compression in the first place. Data type: STRING. Default value: 10. Unit: KB.

      The default unit of this field is bytes. You can also use KB or MB as the unit of this field. Examples: "size":"1000", "size":"10kb", and "size":"1mb".

    • enable: specifies whether to enable document compression. Data type: BOOLEAN. Valid values: true and false. Default value: false.

    Example: "settings":{"compress_doc":{"size":"1kb","enable":true}}.

    The document compression setting takes effect only on the documents that are written or updated after you use the TFT.UPDATEINDEX command to enable or disable document compression. For example, if you run the TFT.UPDATEINDEX command to enable document compression, Tair compresses only the documents that are written or updated after document compression is enabled. It does not compress the documents that are written before document compression is enabled.

Output

• If the operation is successful, OK is returned.

• Otherwise, an error message is returned.

Example

Sample command:

TFT.CREATEINDEX idx:product '{"mappings":{"_source":{"enabled":true},"properties":{"product_id":{"type":"keyword","ignore_above":128},"product_name":{"type":"text"},"product_title":{"type":"text","analyzer":"jieba"},
"price":{"type":"double"}}}}'

# Specify a product ID (product_id) of the keyword type and set the length limit of the ID to 128 characters. 
# Specify a product name (product_name) of the text type. 
# Specify a product title (product_title) of the text type and set analyzer to jieba. 
# Specify a price (price) of the double type.

Sample output:

OK

Syntax

TFT.SEARCH index query

Command description

Queries the documents in an index. The query syntax is similar to the Query Domain Specific Language (DSL) syntax used in Elasticsearch. For more information, see Query DSL.

Parameter

index: the name of the index that you want to manage by running this command. query: the Query DSL statement that is similar to the syntax used in Elasticsearch. The following fields are supported:

• query: the query clause. The following syntax is supported:

  • match: the basic match query. The following parameters are supported.

    In scenarios that do not require document characters to be broken into individual tokens or do not require fuzzy match, we recommend that you use commands such as term and prefix to improve query efficiency.

    • query: the documents in the index that are obtained by using the query.

      Note

      • If fuzzy match is disabled by using fuzziness, documents obtained by the query are broken into individual tokens by a tokenizer specified by analyzer. You can also specify the relationship between tokens by using operator and the minimum number of tokens that need to be matched by using minimum_should_match.

      • If fuzzy match is enabled by using fuzziness, the preceding parameters are invalid. In this case, you can specify prefix_length.

    • analyzer: the tokenizer used by the match statement. Valid values: standard, chinese, arabic, cjk, czech, brazilian, german, greek, persian, french, dutch, russian, and jieba. The default value is standard, which indicates an English tokenizer. To parse Chinese characters, you can use jieba. For more information, see Search analyzers.

    • minimum_should_match: the minimum number of tokens that need to be matched. The tokenizer breaks the query statement into tokens. This parameter takes effect when fuzzy match is disabled and operator is set to OR.

    • operator: the relationship between tokens. Valid values: AND and OR. Default value: OR. For example, '{"query":{"match":{"f0":{"query":"redis cluster","operator":"OR"}}}}' specifies that the search condition is met when "redis" or "cluster" is contained in the documents for which you want to perform a query.

    • fuzziness: specifies whether to enable fuzzy match for the query. By default, fuzzy match is disabled. "fuzziness":1 specifies that fuzzy match is enabled. Example: '{"query":{"match":{"f0":{"query":"excelentl","fuzziness":1}}}}'.

    • prefix_length: the number of start characters that must be retained for a fuzzy match. Default value: 0. This parameter takes effect only when fuzzy match is enabled.

  • term: the token query. If this parameter is specified, the query statement is not split. This query type is more efficient than the match query. This parameter supports all field types. When you perform a token query, you can set the lowercase parameter to convert the token that you want to query to lowercase. The valid values of the lowercase parameter are true and false. The default value is true. Examples: '{"query":{"term":{"f0":{"value":"redis","boost": 2.0}}}}' and '{"query":{"term":{"f0":{"value":"redis","lowercase": false}}}}'.

    If the analyzer that is used when you add a document does not convert the document to lowercase, we recommend that you set the lowercase parameter to false. Otherwise, the document may not be found.

  • terms: the multi-token query. A maximum of 1024 tokens are allowed in each multi-token query. When you perform a token query, you can set the lowercase parameter to convert the token that you want to query to lowercase. The valid values of the lowercase parameter are true and false. The default value is true. Example: '{"query":{"terms":{"f0":["redis","excellent"]}}}'.

    If the analyzer that is used when you add a document does not convert the document to lowercase, we recommend that you set the lowercase parameter to false. Otherwise, the document may not be found.

  • range: the range query. This parameter supports all field types. Valid values: It (less than), gt (greater than), Ite (less than or equal to), and gte (greater than or equal to). Example: '{"query":{"range":{"f0":{"lt":"abcd","gt":"ab"}}}}'.

  • wildcard: the wildcard query. Parameter value format: "wildcard":{"field to query":{"value":"query content"}}. Supported wildcards: * and ?. Example: '{"query":{"wildcard":{"f0":{"value":"*b?Se"}}}}'.

  • prefix: the prefix query. For example, '{"query":{"prefix":{"f0":"abcd"}}' specifies to query documents whose f0 fields start with abcd.

  • bool: the compound query. A maximum of 1,024 tokens are allowed in each compound query. Valid values:

    • must: The query results must match all query clauses in the must list. For example, '{"query":{"bool":{"must":[{"match":{"DB":"redis"}},{"match":{"Architectures":"cluster"}}]}}}' specifies that the type of the database that you want to query is Redis and the architecture of the instance that contains the database is cluster.

    • must_not: The query results do not match any query clauses in the must_not list.

    • should: the should list. If bool is set to should, the query results must match one query clause in this list. You can set the minimum_should_match parameter.

    • minimum_should_match: specifies the minimum number of query clauses that must be matched. This parameter must be used together with should. If a bool statement contains only should, minimum_should_match is set to 1 by default. If the bool statement also contains must or must_not, minimum_should_match is set to 0 by default. For example, '{"query":{"bool":{"minimum_should_match":1,"should":[{"match":{"DB":"redis"}},{"match":{"Architectures":"cluster"}}]}}}' specifies that the type of the database that you want to query is Redis or the architecture of the instance that contains the database is cluster.

    Note

    A bool statement can have all types of query clauses nested within it, such as bool clauses. Example: TFT.SEARCH idx:product '{"query":{"bool":{"must":[{"term":{"product_name":"apple"}},{"bool":{"minimum_should_match":1,"should":[{"term":{"price":19.5}},{"term":{"product_id":"fruits_2"}}]}}]}}}'.

  • dis_max: the compound query for best match. By default, this parameter returns documents that match one or more query clauses. If a returned document matches multiple query clauses, the dis_max query assigns the document the highest score from the matching clauses and a tie-breaking increment to the document score if tie_breaker is specified.

    Valid values of tie_breaker: 0 to 1. Default value: 0. After tie_breaker is specified, the document score can be calculated based on the following formula: Score from a matching clause with the highest score + (Scores from any other matching clauses × tie_breaker value). Assume that doc1 matches three query clauses whose document scores are 5, 1, and 3 and a tie_break value of 0.5 is specified. In this case, the score of doc1 can be calculated by using the following formula: Score of doc1 = 5 + [(1 + 3) × 0.5].

    Example: '{"query":{"dis_max":{"queries":[{"term":{"f0":"redis"}},{"term":{"f1":"database"}},{"match":{"title":"redis memory database"}}],"tie_breaker": 0.5}}}'.

  • constant_score: the compound query that returns a constant score. This query wraps another query and returns a constant score equal to the query boost for every document in the filter. The boost value is of the DOUBLE type, and the default boost value is 1.0. Example: '{"query":{"constant_score":{"filter":{"term":{"f0":"abc"}},"boost":1.2}}}'.

  • match_all: the match all query. This query matches all documents and gives them all a boost value. The boost value is of the DOUBLE type, and the default boost value is 1.0. Example: '{"query":{"match_all":{"boost":2.3}}}'.

  Note

  If you perform a compound query by using bool, dis_max, and constant_score, you can set boost values for term, terms, range, and wildcard. The default boost value is 1. You must specify the parameter to which the boost value is applied in query syntax. Example: '{"query":{"bool":{"must":[{"match":{"f0":"v0"}},"term":{"f0":{"value":"redis","boost":2}}]}}}'.

• sort: sorts query results by a factor. The ARRAY data type is not supported. Default value: _score. Valid values:

  • _score: sorts query results by weight in descending order. Example: "sort":"_score".

  • _doc: sorts query results by document ID in ascending order. Example: "sort":"_doc".

  • Specified field: sorts query results by specified field in ascending order. The field must be an indexed field (index set to true) or a field that is forcefully checked (enabled set to true). The field must be of the keyword, long, integer, or double type. For example, "sort":"price" specifies to sort query results by price in ascending order.

  You can also use an array to sort query results. In this case, query results are sorted by array order. You can use order to modify the default array order. Valid values of order: desc and acs. For example, '{"sort":[{"price":{"order":"desc"}},{"_doc":{"order":"desc"}}]}' specifies to sort query results by price or by document ID if the prices are the same.

• _source: the fields displayed in query results. You can use includes to specify fields that you want to retain and use excludes to specify fields that you do not want to retain. Wildcards are accepted. For example, "_source":{"includes":["f0"] specifies to return only the f0 fields in query results.

• aggs: aggregates the results of the query clause. If the field is of the ARRAY data type, only terms aggregation is supported. For more information, see Aggregations.

• track_total_hits: specifies whether to query all documents when you use the term, terms, or match query. In this case, compound query is supported. If you use the match query, fuzzy match is disabled. Valid values:

  • false: Only the top 100 documents are queried. Documents are sorted by score.

  • true: All documents are queried.

    Warning

    If track_total_hits is set to true and the number of documents to query is large, slow queries occur. Proceed with caution.

• from: the start document to return. The default value is 0, which specifies to return the first document and all subsequent documents that are queried.

• size: the number of documents that can be returned. Default value: 10. Valid values: 0 to 10000. A value of 0 specifies to return only the total number of obtained documents instead of specific documents.

  Note

  A combination of from and size works like paging. However, query performance degrades as the number of discrete pages increases.

Output

• If the operation is successful, the documents in the index are returned.

  Note

  In the following sample output, relation indicates the number of returned documents. Valid values of relation: eq (equal to the value specified by value) and gte (greater than or equal to the value specified by value).

  {
      "hits": {
          "hits": [],
          "max_score": null,
          "total": {
              "relation": "gte",
              "value": 100
          }
      }
  }

• Otherwise, an error message is returned.

Example

Sample command:

TFT.SEARCH idx:product '{"sort":[{"price":{"order":"desc"}}]}'

Sample output:

{"hits":{"hits":[{"_id":"fruits_3","_index":"idx:product","_score":1.0,"_source":{"product_id":"fruits_3","product_name":"orange","price":30.2,"stock":3000}},{"_id":"fruits_2","_index":"idx:product","_score":1.0,"_source":{"product_id":"fruits_2","product_name":"banana","price":24.0,"stock":2000}},{"_id":"fruits_1","_index":"idx:product","_score":1.0,"_source":{"product_id":"fruits_1","product_name":"apple","price":19.5,"stock":1000}}],"max_score":1.0,"total":{"relation":"eq","value":3}}}

Description

Syntax

TFT.MSEARCH index_count index [index1] ... query

Command description

Queries documents in multiple indexes that have mappings and settings set to the same values by using the query clause and gathers the results from these indexes. Then, the results are rated, sorted, aggregated, and returned.

Parameter

• index_cout: the number of indexes that you want to query. Valid values: 1 to 100.

• index: the name of the index that you want to manage by running this command. These indexes must have mappings and settings set to the same values. If the mappings configurations are different for different indexes or if an index does not exist, an error is reported.

• query: the aggregation statement. The following parameters are supported:

  • query: the query clause.

  • sort: sorts query results by a factor. The ARRAY data type is not supported.

  • _source: the fields to return in the results.

  • aggs: aggregates the results of the query clause. If the field is of the ARRAY data type, only terms aggregation is supported.

  • track_total_hits: specifies whether to query all documents when you use the term, terms, or match query. In this case, compound query is supported. If you use the match query, fuzzy match is disabled.

  • size: the number of documents to return.

    Paged query can be implemented by using size, reply_with_keys_cursor, and keys_cursor. If keys_cursor is set to the default value 0, Tair retrieves a specified number of documents starting from the first document of the obtained results from the indexes. If keys_cursor is not set to 0, a specific number of documents are retrieved starting from a specific position. Then, the results from these indexes are gathered to be rated, sorted, aggregated, and returned as the output.

    For example, assume that you want to query three indexes key0, key1, and key2 at a time and that you set the size parameter to 10.

    • For the first query, set keys_cursor to 0. Tair retrieves the first 10 documents from these three indexes respectively. Then, Tair gathers, rates, sorts, and aggregates these 30 documents and returns the top 10 documents. Sample return value of keys_cursor: {"keys_cursor":{"key0":2,"key1":5,"key2":3}}.

    • For the second query, use the same query statement and add {"keys_cursor":{"key0":2,"key1":5,"key2":3}}. Tair retrieves the first 10 documents from the specified position in these indexes. For example, Tair retrieves 10 documents starting from the third one in the key0 index. Then, Tair gathers, rates, sorts, and aggregates the retrieved documents, and returns the output.

  • reply_with_keys_cursor: specifies whether to return the start position of the next query for each index. Valid values: true and false. Default value: false.

  • keys_cursor: specifies the position of the cursor in each index for the query. To implement paged query, set keys_cursor to the return value for the last query. The default value is 0, which indicates that the query starts from the first document.

Output

• If the operation is successful, the obtained documents and aux_info are returned, which is similar to the output of the TFT.SEARCH command.

  The aux_info field includes the CRC-64 value of mappings and settings, the value of keys_cursor, and the value of field_type. keys_cursor indicates the cursor position for the next query and is optional. field_type indicates the data type of a field and is returned only when data is sorted by index field. For business requests, ignore the CRC-64 value. Example of aux_info:

  {
      "aux_info":{
          "index_crc64":15096806844241479487,
          "keys_cursor":{
              "key0":2,
              "key1":5,
              "key2":3
          },
          "field_type":{
              "f0":"long"
          }
      }
  }

• Otherwise, an error message is returned.

Example

TFT.CREATEINDEX key0 '{"mappings":{"properties":{"f0":{"type":"long"}}}}'
TFT.CREATEINDEX key1 '{"mappings":{"properties":{"f0":{"type":"long"}}}}'
TFT.CREATEINDEX key2 '{"mappings":{"properties":{"f0":{"type":"long"}}}}'

TFT.ADDDOC key1 '{"f0":150}'
TFT.ADDDOC key2 '{"f0":160}'
TFT.ADDDOC key2 '{"f0":170}'

Sample command:

TFT.MSEARCH 3 key0 key1 key2 '{"size":2,"query":{"range":{"f0":{"gt":120,"lte":170}}},"sort":[{"f0":{"order":"desc"}}],"reply_with_keys_cursor":true}'

Sample output:

{"hits":{"hits":[{"_id":"16625439765504840","_index":"key2","_score":1.0,"_source":{"f0":170}},{"_id":"16625439741096630","_index":"key2","_score":1.0,"_source":{"f0":160}}],"max_score":1.0,"total":{"relation":"eq","value":5}},"aux_info":{"index_crc64":10084399559244916810,"keys_cursor":{"key0":0,"key1":0,"key2":2}}}

Sample command for querying the second page:

TFT.MSEARCH 3 key0 key1 key2 '{"size":2,"query":{"range":{"f0":{"gt":120,"lte":170}}},"sort":[{"f0":{"order":"desc"}}],"reply_with_keys_cursor":true,"keys_cursor":{"key0":0,"key1":0,"key2":2}}'
# Use the statement that you use in the first query and include the keys_cursor information from the previous query.

Sample output:

{"hits":{"hits":[{"_id":"16625439652681160","_index":"key1","_score":1.0,"_source":{"f0":150}},{"_id":"16625439624704580","_index":"key1","_score":1.0,"_source":{"f0":140}}],"max_score":1.0,"total":{"relation":"eq","value":5}},"aux_info":{"index_crc64":10084399559244916810,"keys_cursor":{"key0":0,"key1":2,"key2":2}}}

TFT.EXPLAINSCORE index query [doc_id] ...

Command description

Queries the detailed score information of documents resulting from the execution of a query statement. You can use this command to gain insights into the process of how document scores are calculated. Then, you can optimize search queries to enhance the effectiveness of document retrieval.

This command is available only for DRAM-based instances that are compatible with Redis 6.0.

Parameter

• index: the name of the index that you want to manage by running this command.

• query: the query statement that has the same syntax as the TFT.SEARCH command.

• doc_id: the IDs of the documents. If this parameter is specified, only the documents specified by doc_id are returned.

Output

• If the operation is successful, the information of the queried documents is returned. The detailed score information for each document, typically represented as an _explanation object, is an addition to the basic result set returned by the TFT.SEARCH command. The _explanation object contains the following fields:

  • score: the score of the document.

  • description: the formula used for score calculation.

  • field: the fields of the document that match the terms specified in the query.

  • term: the terms from the query that are found in the document.
