Hi

I started this discussion in the wrong place  
( [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/15503#issuecomment-166240728](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/15503#issuecomment-166240728)), so I'll post it here.

I have a question to which I can't seem to find an answer anywhere.

Let's say I have an Index type with a mapping that contains two or more nested types (parallel, not deeply nested - see below):

`...
"field1": {  
  "type": "nested", 
  "properties": {
    "subfield1": { "type": "string" },
    "subfield2": { "type": "integer" }
  }
},
"field2": {  
  "type": "nested", 
  "properties": {
    "subfield1": { "type": "string" },
    "subfield2": { "type": "integer" }
  }
}                 
...`

Now I want to use both these nested fields in the same query. To explain this with a simple example:

I want to know which records have:  
field1.subfield1 = "Hello world" and  
field2.subfield2 = 5.

How can I put this logic in a query?
