Tablestore:Terms query

Last Updated:Aug 23, 2024

A terms query is similar to a term query. A terms query supports multiple keywords. A row of data is returned if at least one of the keywords exactly matches the field value. Terms queries can be used in the same manner as the IN operator in SQL statements.

Prerequisites

Parameters

Parameter

Description

tableName

The name of the data table.

indexName

The name of the search index.

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.

queryType

The type of the query. To use terms query, set this parameter to TableStore.QueryType.TERMS_QUERY.

fieldName

The name of the field that you want to match.

terms

The keywords that are used to match the value of the field when you perform a terms query.

A row of data is returned if at least one of the keywords exactly matches the field value.

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.

columnToGet

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

  • If you set returnType to TableStore.ColumnReturnType.RETURN_SPECIFIED, you need to configure returnNames to specify the columns that you want to return.

  • If you set the returnType parameter to TableStore.ColumnReturnType.RETURN_ALL, all columns are returned.

  • If you set the returnType parameter to TableStore.ColumnReturnType.RETURN_ALL_FROM_INDEX, all columns in the search index are returned. .

  • If you set the returnType parameter to TableStore.ColumnReturnType.RETURN_NONE, only the primary key columns are returned.

Examples

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

/**
 * Search the table for rows in which the value of the Col_Keyword column exactly matches "hangzhou" or "shanghai". 
 * TermsQuery supports multiple terms. You can retrieve query results that match at least one of the terms. 
 */
client.search({
    tableName: TABLE_NAME,
    indexName: INDEX_NAME,
    searchQuery: {
        offset: 0,
        limit: 10, // To query only the number of rows that meet the query conditions without specific data, set the limit parameter to 0. 
        query: { // Set the query type to TableStore.QueryType.TERMS_QUERY. 
            queryType: TableStore.QueryType.TERMS_QUERY,
            query: {
                fieldName: "Col_Keyword",
                terms: ["hangzhou", "shanghai"]
            }
        },
        getTotalCount: true // Specify whether to return the total number of rows that meet the query conditions. Default value: false. 
    },
    columnToGet: { // Specify the columns that you want to return. You can set the parameter to RETURN_SPECIFIED to return the specified columns, RETURN_ALL to return all columns, RETURN_ALL_FROM_INDEX to return all columns in the search index, or RETURN_NONE to return only the primary key columns. 
        returnType: TableStore.ColumnReturnType.RETURN_ALL
    }
}, function (err, data) {
    if (err) {
        console.log('error:', err);
        return;
    }
    console.log('success:', JSON.stringify(data, null, 2));
});

  • The following query types are supported by search indexes: term query, terms query, match all query, match query, match phrase query, prefix query, range query, wildcard query, Boolean query, geo query, nested query, vector query, and exists query. You can select a query type to query data based on your business requirements.

    If you want to sort or paginate the rows that meet the query conditions, you can use the sorting and paging feature. For more information, see Sorting and paging.

    If you want to collapse the result set based on a specific column, you can use the collapse (distinct) feature. 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, such as obtaining the extreme values, sum, and total number of rows, you can perform aggregation operations or execute SQL statements. For more information, see Aggregation and SQL query.

  • If you want to quickly 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.
