Swami Rajamohan commented on CONNECTORS-1045:
---------------------------------------------

Sorry for the delayed response. I didn't notice the response.
Our use case is that we have documents that are stored in the repository in a 
folder content hierarchy. However we do have another relationship among items 
wherein a content item(s) can belong to a folder and be contained within a 
parent document as well. The Solr Nested document provides us a way to query 
that relationship as a block join. The use case for this parent child 
relationship comes in the case where we build Topic web pages(parent) that have 
content items as children. The children items themselves would not make sense 
on its own but only in context within a parent. Everytime there is a change in 
the association with regards to the parent, all of the associated children and 
newly associated children & disassociated children will get updated as a single 
unit.

At query time the BlockJoinQuery parser of Solr will allow me to perform join 
operations

Hope this helps in clarifying the use case.
