Hi all,
I'm not even sure if it's possible in ES and I think it isn't but still
here it goes.
Lets suppose I've two docs A and B.
Doc A: Has fields A and X.
Doc B: Has fields B and X.
X is the field that has same value in both the docs.
Problem statement is, I only know A and have to get B with the help of X
(which is same for both docs)
Is that possible in Elasticsearch in one query or do I've to write two
queries?
