Hello, I'm new to elasticsearch and I would like to index and search my collection of postcards. I've categorized them in a mysql-database in a (sub)category-structure like this: Belgien -\> PLZ-Gebiet 4 -\> PLZ-Gebiet 49 -\> PLZ-Gebiet 496 Deutschland -\> PLZ-Gebiet 9 -\> PLZ-Gebiet 97 -\> PLZ-Gebiet 970 Which is a possible solution to index my postcards and make them browseable through a category-path? I also would like to add some facets (e.g. date facet when added a postcard to collection) when I'm browsing deeper in the category-paths.
