Query DSL - Queriesedit
elasticsearch provides a full Java query dsl in a similar manner to the
REST Query DSL. The factory for query
builders is QueryBuilders. Once your query is ready, you can use the
Search API.
See also how to build Filters
To use QueryBuilders just import them in your class:
import org.elasticsearch.index.query.QueryBuilders.*;
Note that you can easily print (aka debug) JSON generated queries using
toString() method on QueryBuilder object.
The QueryBuilder can then be used with any API that accepts a query,
such as count and search.
