Use minimum_should_match in elastic search query via java client

Question

looking all over, I couldn't find a way to include minimum_should_match param our match query when using the java client. we are running on elastic search 2.4. this become a major need now in our system and reindexing/converting the field to not_analyzed is not an option since re-indexing our index takes few days now.

Answer 1

so simple :)

MatchQueryBuilder

QueryBuilders.matchQuery(FIELD_NAME, valueToMatch).minimumShouldMatch("100%")
