After reading this <http://www.elasticsearch.org/blog/managing-relations-inside-elasticsearch/> excellent document on managing relations in Elasticsearch, I have decided that 'nested queries' are the best solution for our particular query needs.Of the list of negatives for nested queries documented in the link above, 1) using the special nested query 2) having to reindex the entire document after and update and 3) inability to cross reference between nested objects, it is this third item that I still find confusing. Would someone be able to provide a sample document, nested mapping, and query that will _not_ work due to this issue?
Here is the snippet from the source document for which I would like further clarification: *"Lastly, it is not possible to “cross reference” between nested documents. One nested doc cannot “see” another nested doc’s properties. For example, you are not able to filter on “A.name” but facet on “B.age”. You can get around this by using `include_in_root`, which effectively copies the nested docs into the root, but this get’s you back to the problems of inner objects."* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
