We are working on building search solution using **IMDb dataset** , where we are writing some aggregation queries like **how many time cast X worked with crew Y**.

##My question here is,  
**What would be the good index model to support aggregate queries?** Would the flat structure is a good option or the embedded structure (movie having Cast and crew in it) would be the right option to have the aggregate queries.

Thanks
