Hi Folks, I have been using Elastic Search server of version 7.2.0. When I deleted parent document in ES by ID, it did not delete its child document. Can you please confirm over that? If yes, do you know another way to support nested document deletion in ES? Thanks, Karan ---

There's no CASCADE DELETE in elasticsearch. ---
