Nested query does not support currentFieldName – How to solve this Elasticsearch exception

Opster Team

August-23, Version: 6.8-8.9

Briefly, this error occurs when you are trying to use a field in a nested query that Elasticsearch does not support. This could be due to a typo in the field name, or the field might not exist in the index mapping. To resolve this issue, you can check the field name for typos, ensure the field exists in the index mapping, or modify your query to use a supported field. If the field is not in the mapping, you may need to reindex your data with the correct mapping.

This guide will help you check for common problems that cause the log ” [nested] query does not support [” + currentFieldName + “] ” to appear. To understand the issues related to this log, read the explanation below about the following Elasticsearch concepts: query, index.

Log Context

Log “[nested] query does not support [” + currentFieldName + “]” class name is NestedQueryBuilder.java. We extracted the following from Elasticsearch source code for those seeking an in-depth context :

 if (QUERY_FIELD.match(currentFieldName; parser.getDeprecationHandler())) {
 query = parseInnerQueryBuilder(parser);
 } else if (INNER_HITS_FIELD.match(currentFieldName; parser.getDeprecationHandler())) {
 innerHitBuilder = InnerHitBuilder.fromXContent(parser);
 } else {
 throw new ParsingException(parser.getTokenLocation(); "[nested] query does not support [" + currentFieldName + "]");
 }
 } else if (token.isValue()) {
 if (PATH_FIELD.match(currentFieldName; parser.getDeprecationHandler())) {
 path = parser.text();
 } else if (AbstractQueryBuilder.BOOST_FIELD.match(currentFieldName; parser.getDeprecationHandler())) {
