Number of restricted arrangements

By -

I am looking for a faster way to solve this problem:

Let's suppose we have n boxes and n marbles (each of them has a different kind). Every box can contain only some kinds of marbles (It is shown it the example below), and only one marble fits inside one box. Please read the edits.

The question is: In how many ways can I put marbles inside the boxes in polynomial time?

Example:

n=3

Marbles: 2,5,3

Restrictions of the i-th box (i-th box can only contain those marbles): {5,2},{3,5,2},{3,2}

The answer: 3, because the possible positions of the marbles are: {5,2,3},{5,3,2},{2,5,3}

I have a solution which works in O(2^n), but it is too slow. There are also one limitation about the boxes tolerance, which I don't find very important, but I will write them also. Each box has it's own kind-restrictions, but there is one list of kinds which is accepted by all of them (in the example above this widely accepted kind is 2).

Edit: I have just found this question but I am not sure if it works in my case, and the dynamic solution is not well described. Could somebody clarify this? This question was answered 4 years ago, so I won't ask it there. https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2145985/how-to-compute-number-of-combinations-with-placement-restrictions?rq=1

Edit#2: I also have to mention that excluding widely-accepted list the maximum size of the acceptance list of a box has 0 1 or 2 elements.

Hibernate Search - Elasticsearch with JSON manipulation

By -
Elasticsearch with JSON manipulation Elasticsearch ships with many features. It is possible that at some point, one feature you need will not be exposed by the Search DSL. To work around such limitations, Hibernate Search provides ways to: Transform the HTTP request sent to Elasticsearch for search queries. Read the raw JSON of the HTTP response received from Elasticsearch for search queries. Direct changes to the HTTP request may conflict with Hibernate Search features and be supported differently by different versions of Elasticsearch. Similarly, the content of the HTTP response may change depending on the version of Elasticsearch, depending on which Hibernate Search features are used, and even depending on how Hibernate Search features are implemented. Thus, features relying on direct access to HTTP requests or responses cannot be guaranteed to continue to work when upgrading Hibernate Search, even for micro upgrades (x.y.z to x.y.(z+1)). Use this at your own risk.

Spring Elasticsearch Operations

By -
Elasticsearch Operations Spring Data Elasticsearch uses two interfaces to define the operations that can be called against an Elasticsearch index. These are ElasticsearchOperations and ReactiveElasticsearchOperations. Whereas the first is used with the classic synchronous implementations, the second one uses reactive infrastructure. The default implementations of the interfaces offer: Read/Write mapping support for domain types. A rich query and criteria api. Resource management and Exception translation. ElasticsearchTemplate The ElasticsearchTemplate is an implementation of the ElasticsearchOperations interface using the Transport Client. @Configuration public class TransportClientConfig extends ElasticsearchConfigurationSupport {   @Bean   public Client elasticsearchClient() throws UnknownHostException {                      Settings settings = Settings.builder().put("cluster.name", "elasticsearch").build();     TransportClient client = new P
