elastic search filter by documents count in nested document

I have this schema in elastic search.

79[
    'ID' : '1233',
    Geomtries:[{
        'doc1' : 'F1',
        'doc2' : 'F2'

    },
    (optional for some of the documents)
    {
        'doc2' : 'F1',
        'doc3' : 'F2'
    }]
]

the Geometries is a nested element. I want to get all of the documents that have one object inside Geometries.

Tried so far :

"script" : {"script" : "if (Geomtries.size < 2) return true"}

But i get exceptions : no such property GEOMTRIES

The problem is in the way you access fields in your script, use:

doc['Geometry'].size()
or
_source.Geometry.size()

By the way for performance reasons, I would denormalize and add GeometryNumber field. You can use the transform mapping to compute size at index time.

If you have the field as type nested in the mapping, the typical doc[fieldkey].values.size() approached does not seem to work. I found the following script to work:

{
  "from" : 0,
  "size" : <SIZE>,
  "query" : {
    "filtered" : {
      "filter" : {
        "script" : {
          "script" : "_source.containsKey('Geomtries') && _source['Geomtries'].size() == 1"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

NB: You must use _source instead of doc.
