Understanding the Cannot instantiate FunctionScore Issue in Elasticsearch 8.1.1

When upgrading from Elasticsearch version 6.5.4 to 8.1.1, many developers face compatibility issues, specifically related to the instantiation of FunctionScore. If you’re reading this, you might have encountered an error stating that the build() method has protected access in the FunctionScore class. Let's dive into this issue and discuss a solution that will get you back on track.

The Problem

The main issue arises from the changes in the Elasticsearch Java API with the latest version. In earlier versions, you could simply create filter functions using FunctionScoreQueryBuilder, but this approach has evolved in 8.1.1.

Here’s a snippet of the problematic code:

When trying to rewrite this using the new API, you may end up with code looking like this:

Understanding the Solution

Fortunately, this is not a bug, but rather a change in how FunctionScore is structured in the latest API. To resolve this, you need to implement a different approach using function modifiers, such as linear or others that the API supports.

Implementing the Fix

Here’s how you can correctly use the FunctionScore with the linear modifier:

Step-by-Step Breakdown:

Change the Builder: Replace the direct instantiation of FunctionScore with a builder that includes the linear() modifier.

Define Filter: For each FunctionScore, define the term filters using the syntax provided by the new API.

Compile the Functions: List all filter functions by calling List.of() around your builder instances to maintain compatibility and readability.

Conclusion

By adapting to the new Elasticsearch Java API conventions, you can effectively manage function scores and take advantage of the latest features in version 8.1.1. Remember to always check the documentation for any updates that may influence how your queries are built.

Adapting existing code can sometimes lead to roadblocks, but these challenges often reveal the need for better optimization and functionality in newer versions. Keep exploring the API, and don’t hesitate to refer back to the documentation for assistance with evolving methods and classes.
