Left join

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I have 3 documents...

{
@id:1,
@type: driver,
name: jos,
surname: hatch,
}

{
@id:2,
@type:driver,
name: elo,
surname: jim,
}

{
@id:444,
@type:car,
color:red,
driver:[1,2]
}

Is it possible in elasticsearch to make a query to obtain this?

{
@id:444,
@type:car,
driver:[{name: jos, surname: hatch,},{name: elo,surname: jim,}],
color:red
}

Elasticsearch does not support joins. It is possible to get limited join-like behaviour through the use of parent-child relationships, but this comes with a number of limitations and can be slow, so it is generally recommended to instead denormalise your data.
