The ES compatible API accepts malformed requests

[fmassot]

Example of a request that should return a 400 error:

{"term": {"actor.id": {"value": "95077794"}}}

This is converted into a match all query.

The correct query is:

{"query": {"term": {"actor.id": "95077794"}}}

{
    "query": {
        "term": {
            "actor.id": {
                "value": "95077794"
            }
        }
    }
}

BTW, this is also a valid DSL format

[fulmicoton]

Yes ! and we accept both.

I think @fmassot's point is that the doc should probably give the full payload (starting from "query")

[fmassot]

We could add deny_unknown_fields to the search body struct.

@fulmicoton I'm wondering if you did not use it deliberately, can you confirm?

[fulmicoton]

It was not deliberate. We should definitely add it!

Thank you @etolbakov !
