Rank feature field type

Rank feature field type

A rank_feature field can index numbers so that they can later be used to boost documents in queries with a rank_feature query.

rank_feature fields only support single-valued fields and strictly positive values. Multi-valued fields and negative values will be rejected.

rank_feature fields do not support querying, sorting or aggregating. They may only be used within rank_feature queries.

rank_feature fields only preserve 9 significant bits for the precision, which translates to a relative error of about 0.4%.

Rank features that correlate negatively with the score should set positive_score_impact to false (defaults to true). This will be used by the rank_feature query to modify the scoring formula in such a way that the score decreases with the value of the feature instead of increasing. For instance in web search, the url length is a commonly used feature which correlates negatively with scores.
