I'm sure this is a syntax issue that I've yet to figure out with Go -
The error I'm getting --
cannot use *term (type elastic.AggregationBucketKeyItem) as type elastic.Aggregations in argument to extractBucket
The line that's generating the error is
"Value": extractBucket(parts[1:], *term),
The relevant code, for context
// from https://github.com/olivere/elastic/blob/v3.0.22/search_aggs.go
type Aggregations map[string]*json.RawMessage
type AggregationBucketSignificantTerms struct {
Aggregations
DocCount int64 //`json:"doc_count"`
Buckets []*AggregationBucketSignificantTerm //`json:"buckets"`
Meta map[string]interface{} // `json:"meta,omitempty"`
}
// my code
func extractBucket(parts []string, aggs elastic.Aggregations) interface{} {
// bunch of code removed
terms, found := aggs.Terms(part)
for _, term := range terms.Buckets {
if len(parts) == 0 {
retval[(term.Key).(string)] = map[string]interface{}{
"Count": term.DocCount,
}
} else {
retval[(term.Key).(string)] = map[string]interface{}{
"Count": term.DocCount,
"Value": extractBucket(parts[1:], *term),
}
}
}
}
It is a common misunderstanding that embedding a type makes you "inherit" that type. Even though AggregationBucketSignificantTerms
embeds an Aggregations
, it is not one to the compiler. It merely has a field of type Aggregations
, and it provides methods from that type at it's top level. It feels a bit like inheritance, but is probably not what you are used to with things like Java subclasses.
To solve it you can try "Value": extractBucket(parts[1:], *term.Aggregations),
, but I am not clear if that will solve your problem or not.
Well the error is pretty self explanatory:
cannot use (*term, variable name) (type elastic.AggregationBucketKeyItem <-- Variables current type) as (type elastic.Aggregations <-- Expected type) in argument to extractBucket
Whatever your *term
value
Generated by: for _, term := range terms.Buckets {
is not the right type for the function
extractBucket(parts []string, aggs elastic.Aggregations)
Takes a type of elastic.Aggregations
