I have a list of candidates which belong to a _listId_ which are present in _emailListItems_ document type. we can add any of these candidates for reference check processing from the ui. when he is added I am creating another document in a type called _referenceCheck_ with _listId_, and \__id_ of _emailListItems_ doc and other basic info like _firstname_, _lastName_, _emailAddress_ duplicated in target document. Now, when user goes to **ReferenceCheck** view , all documents from _referenceCheck_ doc type are displayed. I want to bring along the associated _emailListItems_ docs also, so that user can see any additional information of the candidate. How can i bring along docs of both document types in a single query? Is this a good design from elasticsearch point of view? i mean keeping info belonging to same candidates in two different doc types... For some reasons, I cannot keep the _referenceCheck_ info in _emailListItems_ How pagination can be achieved if there are thousands of candidates. Using _size_, _from_ ? ---
