Hello.

I want to check if an document miss a nested object (and the opposite too).  
I want to get all documents which contain a marketplace that does not have  
a price array.  
This is part of my query (there are "and filter" because there can be more  
than one restriction) :

{  
"nested": {  
"filter": {  
"and": {  
"filters": [,{  
"nested": {  
"filter": {  
"and": {  
"filters": [  
{

"not": {

"filter": {

"exists": {

"field": "marketplace.price.id"

}  
}  
}  
}  
]  
}  
},  
"path":  
"marketplace.price"  
}  
}  
]  
}  
},  
"path": "marketplace"  
}  
}

both marketplace and price are mapped : "nested".

I have two marketplaces. One has a price array, one does not have a price  
array. In the same document. With the query above I don't get a hit.

Can someone give me a hint or solution for that problem?

Cheers,  
Elke
