Hello!
I have a question regarding the nested queries in 2.x version.
Before upgrade, I was using nested filters. But now, filters have converted into queries, and I am not allowed anymore to have something like: "nested" : { "filter": filter}.
Is it ok if I convert the filter into a bool query, something like;
{"nested": "query" : {"bool": {"filter"}}} ? Or should it be better if i put it in a constant\_score query?
I am a little confused.
Thanks!

Hi @Cristiana_Tiugan,
you should be fine with a bool query and the filter parameter in your case (see also [breaking query DSL changes in 2.0](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.3/breaking_20_query_dsl_changes.html)).

Yes, I thought so, thanks a lot!
