Collect multiple paths from XContentMapValues #68540
Conversation
Currently, when a document source mixed json object and dotted syntax like e.g.
{ "foo" : { "bar" : 0 }, "foo.bar" : 1}, extracting the values from the source
map via XContentMapValues#extractValue returns after the first value for a path
has been found. Instead we should exhaust all possibilities and return a list of
objects of we find more than one value when extending the lookup path.
Closes elastic#68215

What happens if we have "foo.cat" : ["miaw", "purr"] here? I guess we get a List that contains a String and a further List, which is probably fine given that this is an edge case already.

Good point. I think flattening out the list in this case makes sense and is doable. In the end we only need to handle single values and lists here. I added a commit along those lines and extended the test.

This looks like it breaks a bunch of assumptions in tests - let's leave it as it was previously, with the mix of values? As I said, I think it's a sufficiently rare case that having an odd-looking response in fetch is fine.

Saw the tests, probably just a class cast issue that I overlooked. Will see how easy it is to fix

Okay, I can see how this gets tricky now, rolled back the last change. I added a test to the FieldFetcherTests though that shows that although we might return a List that contains a String and a further List in this case via XContentMapValues (which can even be considered to be correct, depending on the viewpoint), we unpack this e.g. when retrieving fields values to a simple list.

@romseygeek thanks for the review, what do you think about my question above whether this addition should also happen in |

This reverts commit 52d2d90.

This change adds tests around the handling of mixed object and dot notation in document source when using the `fields` API with nested fields left out of elastic#67432. After merging elastic#68540, this test can now be added. Relates to elastic#67432
