Hello evryone,
I have problem with same index type relation in elasticsearch which is not supported but for me i have folder index type in which we store folder inside a folder and i need to find parent folder of the folder
i can do by adding parent folder document nested field but its very big and folder is like n level folder inside folder inside folder so any solution i can get.
Thank you in advance
