Hello,  
Sorry to bother you guys. I've searched a lot and couldn't find a concrete answer regarding multiple index search. I know elasticsearch does not do well with join type query. Still I want to know if there is any way to query the below syntax in ES.

**_\> "Select \* from table1 a, table2 b where [a.no](http://a.no)!=[b.no](http://b.no) OR a.price!=b.price"_**

It'd be really helpful if anyone could direct me to the right path. TIA.

Two ideas:

- change the way you model your data and solve most of the problems at index time
- use parent / child feature
