Hello, I am aware of a Parent/Child Relationship in ES by using the \_parent field. However, I would like to ask if there is some way to aggregate measures in a recursive manner. For example, I would like to perform a query to ES and have the children of children aggregation. Let me instantiate it: Consider that I have the following docs inside an ordinary index: ## id | idParent | Measure 1 | | 0 2 | 1 | 0 3 | 2 | 1 4 | 2 | 1 5 | 2 | 1 this docs tell me(in a recursive manner) that doc with id={2,3,4,5} are all children of doc with id ={1}. So, if I aggregate the childrens, I would have 3 as result instead of 0 (if I only consider doc with id=2 as the single child of doc with id =1). Does anyone knows how to perform such query to 1.0.0.RC1 ? Regards from sunny Brazil. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
