as analytics search, which the query either matches or it doesn't | |
cs conditions search, which the query either matches or it doesn't | |
Sets considered | |
---- | |
D= {(v,exp,c,id)} all data we have | |
A= {(as,v, exp,c,id): (v,exp,c,id) is in D, v>threshold, as=annotateAll(v,exp,c,id)}. | |
C= {(cs, exp,c): (v,exp,c) is in D for some v, cs= annotateConditions(exp,c)} | |
So as and cs are calculated fields | |
Current search | |
---- | |
R = { id: there is (as,v, exp, c, id) in A such that as matches query} | |
x {(exp, c): there is (cs,exp, c) in C such that cs matches query } intersect D | |
Search in analytics index only | |
---- | |
S = { (v,exp,c,id) : there is (as, v, exp,c,id) in A such that as matches query} | |
What data will we miss? | |
---- | |
Consider (exp', c', id') in R\S. | |
If there are (as,v) such that (as, v, exp', c', id') is in A, then as doesn't match query. | |
Hence for all (as, exp'', c'', id') in A such that as matches query, (exp'',c'') != (exp', c') | |
Hence there are some (as*,cs*): | |
(as*, v, exp'', c'', id') is in A | |
(cs*,exp', c') is in C | |
as* matches query and cs* matches query | |
exp'' is not exp' or exp'' is exp' but c'' is not c' | |
I claim we don't want these results. | |
