Hi,

I have an index with a parent-child relationship.  
What i basically wan't to do is to query with an percentage, let's say we have users and a list of transactions.

Parents:  
{  
"id": 1,  
"name": "Eric"  
},  
{  
"id": 2,  
"name": "James"  
}

Children:  
{  
 "parent": 1,  
 "shopping\_place": "Norway",  
 "trans\_id": 11  
},  
{  
 "parent": 1,  
 "shopping\_place": "Cuba",  
 "trans\_id": 22  
},  
{  
 "parent": 1,  
 "shopping\_place": "Cuba",  
 "trans\_id": 33  
},  
{  
 "parent": 1,  
 "shopping\_place": "Cuba",  
 "trans\_id": 44  
},  
{  
 "parent": 2,  
 "shopping\_place": "Norway",  
 "trans\_id": 55  
},  
{  
"parent": 2,  
"shopping\_place": "Cuba",  
"trans\_id": 55  
}

Let's say i want to find all parents which has at least 25% of total child-transactions done in norway, how would a query like that look like?
