Tablestore:Match phrase query

Last Updated:Aug 05, 2024

A match phrase query is similar to match query, except that a match phrase query evaluates the positions of tokens. A row meets the query condition only when the order and positions of the tokens in the row match the order and positions of the tokens that are contained in the keyword. If the tokenization method for the column that you want to query is fuzzy tokenization, match phrase query is performed at a lower latency than wildcard query.

Prerequisites

Parameters

Parameter

Description

TableName

The name of the data table.

IndexName

The name of the search index.

Query

The type of the query. Set the query type to MatchPhraseQuery.

FieldName

The name of the field that you want to match.

You can perform match phrase queries on TEXT columns.

Text

The keyword that is used to match the column values when you perform a match phrase query.

If the column that you want to query is a TEXT column, the keyword is tokenized into multiple tokens based on the analyzer type that you specify when you create the search index. By default, single-word tokenization is performed if you do not specify the analyzer when you create the search index. For more information, see Tokenization.

For example, if you perform a match phrase query by using the phrase "this is", "..., this is tablestore" and "this is a table" are returned. "this table is ..." or "is this a table" is not returned.

Offset

The position from which the current query starts.

Limit

The maximum number of rows that you want the current query to return.

To query only the number of rows that meet the query conditions without specific data, set the Limit parameter to 0.

GetTotalCount

Specifies whether to return the total number of rows that meet the query conditions. Default value: false.

If you set this parameter to true, the query performance is compromised.

ColumnsToGet

Specifies whether to return all columns of each row that meets the query conditions. You can specify the ReturnAll and Columns parameters.

The default value of the ReturnAll field is false,

which indicates that not all columns are returned. In this case, you can use the Columns parameter to specify the columns that you want to return. If you do not specify the Columns parameter, only the primary key columns are returned.

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

Sample code

The following sample code provides an example on how to query the rows in which the value of the Col_Text column matches the whole phrase "hangzhou shanghai" in order in the data table:

/**
 * Query the rows in which the value of the Col_Text column matches the whole phase "hangzhou shanghai" in order in a table. Tablestore returns the total number of rows that meet the query conditions and part of the matched rows. 
 */
func MatchPhraseQuery(client *tablestore.TableStoreClient, tableName string, indexName string) {
    searchRequest := &tablestore.SearchRequest{}
    searchRequest.SetTableName(tableName)
    searchRequest.SetIndexName(indexName)
    query := &search.MatchPhraseQuery{} // Set the query type to MatchPhraseQuery. 
    query.FieldName = "Col_Text"  // Specify the name of the column that you want to query. 
    query.Text = "hangzhou shanghai"  // Specify the keyword that is used to match the value of the column. 
    searchQuery := search.NewSearchQuery()
    searchQuery.SetQuery(query)
    searchQuery.SetGetTotalCount(true) 
    searchQuery.SetOffset(0) // Set the Offset parameter to 0. 
    searchQuery.SetLimit(20) // Set the Limit parameter to 20, which indicates a maximum of 20 rows can be returned. 
    searchRequest.SetSearchQuery(searchQuery)
    searchResponse, err := client.Search(searchRequest)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Printf("%#v", err)
        return
    }
    fmt.Println("IsAllSuccess: ", searchResponse.IsAllSuccess) // Check whether all rows that meet the query conditions are returned. 
    fmt.Println("TotalCount: ", searchResponse.TotalCount) // Display the total number of rows that meet the query conditions. 
    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))
    }
    // Return all columns in the rows that meet the query conditions. 
    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 rows that meet the query conditions are returned. 
    fmt.Println("TotalCount: ", searchResponse.TotalCount) // Display the total number of rows that meet the query conditions. 
    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))
    }
}

  • 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, Boolean query, KNN vector query, nested query, and exists query. 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 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 data table, you can use the aggregation feature of the Search operation or execute SQL statements. For example, you can obtain the minimum and maximum values, sum, and total 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.
