Hi,

I've read that Elasticsearch's Nested object are usefull but aren't independant from their root index and  
reindexed the whole document if reindexed ([https://www.elastic.co/blog/managing-relations-inside-elasticsearch](https://www.elastic.co/blog/managing-relations-inside-elasticsearch)).

But on the up to date documentation (6.2) it is said that "nested documents are indexed as separate documents" ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/nested.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/nested.html)).

So I want to be sure, If I use this structure and reindex a Nested object, does it reindex the root index? Does it reindex the other nested object in the root index?
