With parent/child supported by logstash now, does that mean we can look forward to support in Kibana very soon? I've got a scenario where the parent has a lot of data and there are commonly thousands of children for a given parent so flattening things is less than ideal for me. ---

To whom it may help. This issue @jimmyjones2 listed was part of the problem mainly that the search field has be updated. BUT parent/child and nested objects are still unsupported: - parent/child: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/3730](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/3730) - nested object: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/1084](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/1084) ---
