Please +1 this ticket, if this is important to you (and describe your use case): [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/1084](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/1084)

One trick you can use is "include\_in\_parent" setting in Elasticsearch mappings, which flattens the schema at index time; it's also described in one of the comments in the ticket.
