For Nested Fields is inclusion and exclusion going to work?

eg. Works with normal field gives result json with only doc\_title  
field

{  
"fields": [  
"doc\_title"  
],  
"query": {  
"match\_all": {}  
}  
}

eg. Is below Query works with new relese or will come with new?

{  
"fields": [  
"doc\_nested\_field.doc\_field1.doc\_field2"  
],  
"query": {  
"match\_all": {}  
}  
}

You mean getting back a field within an object? Yes it will work.
