Hey guys, From my latest post here, I changed my approach and now I'm stuck in the following: I'm trying to implement a mecanism like a JOIN, I've been reading that's not possible at all but worth the try. I wanna a mecanism to 'link' two index so that I will be able to get fields from both index and present (or create a third one). Has anyone here did this? Hope you guys can give me a hand, I really wish to automate this mecanism instead of putting the fields when I inject the data in Elastic. Thanks in advance, Cheers! ---

Best thing to do is to solve the problem at index time IMHO. But I don't understand exactly the real use case. Would be better to share an example of the data you have and what kind of queries you want to run. ---
