Elasticsearch: 7.6.0 composite aggregation on index-sorting fields: out-of-bounds exception

[itizir]

Elasticsearch version (bin/elasticsearch --version): 7.6.0

Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior:

Was trying to test the optimisation https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/48399 released in ES 7.6.0, and encountered this bug.

It's failing here https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/v7.6.0/server/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/search/aggregations/bucket/composite/CompositeAggregator.java#L206
when the aggregation buckets are a subset of the fields on which the index is sorted.

Steps to reproduce:

Minimal example highlighting the problem:

PUT /myindex
{"settings":{"index":{"sort.field":["foo","bar"]}},"mappings":{"properties":{"foo":{"type":"keyword"},"bar":{"type":"keyword"}}}}

POST /myindex/_doc?refresh
{"foo":"foo","bar":"bar"}

POST /myindex/_search
{"aggs":{"agg":{"composite":{"sources":[{"agg-foo":{"terms":{"field":"foo"}}}]}}}}

Results in failure

{
  "type" : "array_index_out_of_bounds_exception",
  "reason" : "Index 1 out of bounds for length 1"
}

Followed the steps and it's reproducable on current master as well.

[itizir]

Any news regarding this? It's a very unfortunate deal breaker...

[nik9000]

Thanks for the ping @itizir! I'm just coming up to speed on composite aggs and hadn't seen this.

[itizir]

Thanks for the quick fix!

Hello folks !

Do you have any alternative that we can set in the query (while waiting for the next version) ?
I have tried to specify the sort but seems to have no effect.

Thanks !

I believe you should be able to replace the direct reference to the field with a script that just reads the value of the field. When you pass a script we can't enable the optimization that was broken here because we can't be sure that your script won't jumble the order of the terms. So a script should "escape" from the bug.

Thanks @nik9000 , will try it out !
