I have the exact same problem as the one previously posted
[https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!searchin/elasticsearch/has\_parent/elasticsearch/TwqHqOigVJs/FBba9p1ZFc0J](https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!searchin/elasticsearch/has_parent/elasticsearch/TwqHqOigVJs/FBba9p1ZFc0J)
Except that instead of has\_child i am trying to do a has\_parent query.
curl -XPOST [http://localhost:9200/my\_index/grandchild/\_search/](http://localhost:9200/my_index/grandchild/_search/) -d '{
"query": {
"has\_parent": {
"parent\_type": "child",
"query": {
"has\_parent": {
"parent\_type": "parent",
"query": {
"match\_all": {}
}
}
}
}
}
}'
For which i get a empty result.
I have defined routing for grandchild docs and the nested has\_child works
fine too. Any ideas what i may be doing wrong here?
Thanks

Hi Kul,
Is there any chance you could post a complete example of your problem
including the mapping ?

Hi Michael,
Thanks for asking. But it seems i had done some mistake with the data while
testing, Nested queries work very nicely already.
Thanks
