I am trying to refactor a elasticsearch query from written for 2.4 (it's a very old one) and want to make it compatible for elasticsearch 7.5

Here is my structured query:

```auto
{
'query': {
    'filtered': {
        'filter': {}, 
        'query': {
            'bool': {
                'must': [
                    {
                        'bool': {
                            'should': []
                        }
                    }
                ]
            }
       }
    }
}, 
'_source': {'exclude': []}, 'size': 0}

```

I have gone through the stackoverflow for alternative of `filtered` clause since it has been deprecated in new version. Most of the solutions on the internet are related to replacing `filtered` followed by `filter` clause to `bool` followed by `filter` clause.

In this case, I have `filtered` followed by `query` also. How should refactor the whole query in clean format ?

It would be great if anyone can help me with this, thanks! 🙂
