Query with multiple has_children clauses

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

I'd like to know if it's possible to have multiple has_children clauses in one query. I've not been able to get it to work. Here's an example of what I'm trying:

GET test-index/_search
{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must": [
        {
          "match": {
            "field1": "value1"
          }
        },
        {
          "has_child": {
            "type": "joinDocValue",
            "query": {
              "match": {
                "field2": "value2"
              }
            }
          }
        },
        {
          "has_child": {
            "type": "joinDocValue2",
            "query": {
              "match": {
                "field3": "value3"
              }
            }
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

I saw this earlier topic: Has_child query with multiple type? where @jimczi mentioned you can have only one query per child type. It's not clear to me what exactly that means though.

The has_child documentation indicates that multiple has_children clauses in one query should be possible (although slow compared to not using parent child mappings). Specifically the documentation mentions:

Each has_child query that gets added to a search request can increase query time significantly

So obviously putting multiple has_child conditions together will significantly slow down the query... but it definitely sounds possible. I'd very much like to benchmark a few different mappings use cases which essentially require multi-has_child conditions in one query. Can anyone help form the multi-has_child query that the documentation indicates is possible?

Thank you!

On re-inspection this query does work as written above.... It was the document seeding that I was messing up. :confused:

Well, if anyone needs assistance forming a multi-condition has_child query, hopefully this post's query example will still be of help to you!
