I'm curious as to why nested is faster compared to parent/child since
my understanding is that nested is implemented similarly to
parent/child. That is, they both store nested/children documents
independently. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Parents and children are top-level completely separate docs which are
stored on the same shard.
Nested docs are independent docs, but not visible on the top level. As I
understand it, the root doc and its nested docs are written in an
efficient format (block indexing) which improves performance.
