Hi, We have an index with 2 types, one being the child of another. The child document contains derived data from the parent document, so there's only one child per parent. The reason why we do this is because the data in the child can change even when the parent doesn't actually change (ie: the child document data is derived from multiple documents in the parent type). We could put the data in the parent document, but that requires updating them which we'd like to avoid. We'd like to score parents based some queries to them, but more importantly, using values in its child document in a custom\_score query. Here's what I'd like to achieve[1]. Thanks, Philippe [1] [https://gist.github.com/plaflamme/3ec53a6ae6a5f6896066](https://gist.github.com/plaflamme/3ec53a6ae6a5f6896066) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
