Tablestore:Suffix query

Last Updated:Oct 25, 2024

You can perform a suffix query to query data in a search index by specifying suffix conditions. For example, you can query packages based on the last four digits of a mobile phone number.

Prerequisites

Usage notes

  • Tablestore SDK for Java V5.17.0 or later supports suffix query. To perform a suffix query, make sure that you obtain Tablestore SDK for Java V5.17.0 or later. For information about the version history of Tablestore SDK for Java, see Version history of Tablestore SDK for Java.

  • You can use suffix query to query fields only of the FuzzyKeyword type.

    Note

    The FuzzyKeyword type is in invitational preview. If you want to use the FuzzyKeyword type, submit a ticket.

Parameters

Parameter

Description

query

The type of the query. Set this parameter to SuffixQuery.

fieldName

The name of the field that you want to match.

suffix

The suffix.

getTotalCount

Specifies whether to return the total number of rows that meet the query conditions. The default value of this parameter is false, which specifies that the total number of rows that meet the query conditions is not returned.

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

weight

The weight that you want to assign to the field that you want to query to calculate the BM25-based keyword relevance score. This parameter is used in full-text search scenarios. If you specify a higher weight for the field that you want to query, the BM25-based keyword relevance score for the field is higher. The value of this parameter is a positive floating-point number.

This parameter does not affect the number of rows that are returned. However, this parameter affects the BM25-based keyword relevance scores of the query results.

tableName

The name of the data table.

indexName

The name of the search index.

columnsToGet

Specifies whether to return all columns of each row that meets the query conditions. You can configure the returnAll and columns fields for this parameter.

The default value of the returnAll field is false, which specifies that not all columns are returned. In this case, you can use the columns field to specify the columns that you want to return. If you do not specify the columns that you want to return, only the primary key columns are returned.

If you set the returnAll field to true, all columns are returned.

Examples

The following sample code provides an example on how to query the rows in which the value of the Col_FuzzyKeyword column contains the "hangzhou" suffix.

/**
 * Query the rows in which the value of the Col_FuzzyKeyword column contains the "hangzhou" suffix. 
 * @param client
 */
private static void suffixQuery(SyncClient client) {
    SearchQuery searchQuery = new SearchQuery();
    SuffixQuery suffixQuery = new SuffixQuery(); // Set the query type to PrefixQuery. 
    searchQuery.setGetTotalCount(true);
    suffixQuery.setFieldName("Col_FuzzyKeyword");
    suffixQuery.setSuffix("hangzhou");
    searchQuery.setQuery(suffixQuery);
    //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("Col_FuzzyKeyword")); // 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

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.
