Initially I do by iterate the JSON object get the key and value out, do concatenation with dot between keys and then pass to the matchquery.

I'm hoping you've read the manual: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.2/search-request-body.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.2/search-request-body.html)

Or if you want to load a file, say from the command line:  
$ curl -XPOST '[http://jfblouvmlxecs01:9200/test/\_doc/1](http://jfblouvmlxecs01:9200/test/_doc/1)' -d @lane.json
