Hi, I have a need to retrieve documents (of type "bucket") which have at least 2 nested objects (of type "products") inside them (details of my mapping and documents are on the gist below). > As far as I've searched, I did not find a way to accomplish this on a Elasticsearch (unless perhaps if I'd used parent/child for bucket/products, and used a "has child query" with "min\_children=2"), but I'd rather avoid changing my mapping if I can. Does anybody know if it is possible? _PS_: not really the same situation, but perhaps \*option number 2 \*from this answer would be a solution [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19609498/elastic-search-order-by-count-of-nested-object](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19609498/elastic-search-order-by-count-of-nested-object). Does anybody see another alternative? Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
