Hey all,

I am new with ES and I wonder if this is possible:

I have a user and a video type.

In my RDB structure the user and video table has many to many relation,  
meaning a user can have more videos and a video can have more users.

And still am figuring how to make a local join (any ideas?)

But Now I have to make the video as parent and I added the user as child  
but with no parent id as reference but as type parent is video.

Is there a way to get all the users and the video data in 1 search?

Best regards,

M
