    Query Pipeline StagesConfiguration specifications

    A query pipeline is made up of a series of query stages that process incoming search queries.

    A pipeline stage definition associates a unique ID with a set of properties. These definitions are registered with the Managed Fusion API service and stored in ZooKeeper for re-use across pipelines and search applications.

    Managed Fusion includes a number of specialized query stages as well as a JavaScript stage that allows advanced processing via a JavaScript program.

    The detailed configuration article about each Managed Fusion query pipeline stage is provided in this section.

    To configure a query pipeline stage, sign in to Managed Fusion and click Querying > Query Workbench. Then click Add a Stage and select the stage you want to configure. The stages are displayed under these categories:

    • Set Up. This section displays options that let you configure stages such as Facets, Graph Security Trimming, and Query Fields.

    • Results Relevancy. This section displays options that let you configure stages such as Block Documents, Boost Documents, Recommend Items for Item, and Recommend Items for User.

    • Fetch Data. This section displays options that let you configure stages such as Apply Rules, JDBC Lookup, and REST Query.

    • Responses. This section displays options that let you configure stages such as QnA Result Document Field Sorting, Response Diagnostics, and Response Document Exclusion.

    • Troubleshooting. This section displays the option that lets you configure the Logging stage.

    • Advanced. This section displays options that let you configure stages such as Additional Query Parameters, Managed JavaScript, and QnA Filter Stop Words.

    • Custom. This section displays options that let you configure stages such as Custom Graph Security Trimming and JavaScript.

    • AI. This section displays options that let you configure stages such as Hybrid Query, LWAI Prediction, and Machine Learning.

    • Other. This section displays options that let you configure stages such as Experiment Stage, Return Query Parameters, and Text Tagger.

    Global pipeline stage properties

    Required
    • type: The type of the pipeline stage. This must be one of the defined Managed Fusion pipeline stage types, such as index-logging. If the Managed Fusion UI is used to define the stage, this property is filled in automatically.

    Optional
    • label: A string field with a maximum length of 255 characters. The label is displayed on the Managed Fusion UI.

    • skip: A boolean value. If true, pipeline processing bypasses this stage. The default is false.

    • condition: A JavaScript expression that evaluates to true (1) or false (0). If this condition evaluates to false, this stage is skipped. The default is true.

    Pipeline Condition Expression

    The JavaScript expression specified in the condition property of a pipeline stage has access the pipeline objects.

    Index Pipeline Stage Condition Example

    An index PipelineDocument has two available variables: doc and ctx.

    To check whether pipeline document contains a named field:

    doc.hasField("acl_ss")

    Query pipeline stage Condition Example

    To process a query based the query request object:

    request.hasParam("fusion-user-name") && request.getFirstParam("fusion-user-name").equals("SuperUser");
    !request.hasParam("isFusionPluginQuery")

    The first condition checks that the request parameter fusion-user-name is present and has the value SuperUser. The second condition checks that the request parameter isFusionPluginQuery is not present.
