I have a parent child relationship in my elasticsearch 7.9 where I am having the **car** as a parent type and it has multiple child types like **honda, suzuki, volvo** now I want to have a child of type volvo and parent type is car.

```
{
    "query": {
        "has_parent": {
            "parent_type": "car",
            "query": {
                "has_child": {
                    "type": "volvo",
                    "query": {
                        "match_all":{}
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

```

It is returning the objects having **child type** honda as well.  
Where I am wrong ?  
Thanks.

- what should be the query where I want the parent\_type car with an id xxxxx and child is volvo.
