Hi, I would like to migrate my elasticsearch cluster to 2.x but I am blocked with a problem on indexing child documents with Logstash. In 1.6 I had something working but parent/child relation has changed since 2.0 and I don't know if it is possible in 2.x versions. I tried to use a \_parent field with the value of the parent id but it did'nt work. Does someone has an example of logstash config working with Elasticsearch 2.x and with childs documents ? Thanks. ---

This functionality was just barely added in [https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-output-elasticsearch/pull/307](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-output-elasticsearch/pull/307) A version of the plugin with this update will be released soon. ---
