I have a tree like document structure and using parent child mapping. Using hasChildQuery and hasParentQuery I can get the immediate parent and children. Does elasticsearch support some filter and/or some querybuilder combination mechanism for returning entire hierachy i.e. all documents occur between matching node (at some level) till root node(docment)\* Thanks \* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

No - you'd have to add a field to your doc to allow this, eg a path of all ancestor IDs: 1/5/10 etc On 22 May 2013 10:07, Chetana [ambha.career@gmail.com](mailto:ambha.career@gmail.com) wrote: > I have a tree like document structure and using parent child mapping. > Using hasChildQuery and hasParentQuery I can get the immediate parent and > children.
