All, It was mentioned here [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/children-agg.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/children-agg.html) that the support for parent aggregation is not currently supported. Any ideas on when it will be supported or where its in the roadmap ? Are there any workarounds for that ?
