I'm running Elasticsearch 1.0.1 with 1 node, 1 shard, 0 replicas for this  
test.

My $ES\_HOME/config/default-mapping.json is the following:  
{  
"_default_": {  
"properties": {  
"foo": {  
"type": "nested",  
"properties": {  
"bar": {  
"index": "analyzed",  
"type": "string"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

I add the following doc to test/foobar:  
{  
"foo": {  
"bar": "Foo Bar"  
}  
}

When I POST the following facet (and similar agg):  
{  
"facets": {  
"foobar": {  
"terms": {  
"field": "foo.bar"  
}  
}  
},  
"size": 0  
}

I get the following results:  
{  
took: 52,  
timed\_out: false,  
\_shards: {  
total: 1,  
successful: 1,  
failed: 0  
},  
hits: {  
total: 1,  
max\_score: 0,  
hits: []  
},  
facets: {  
foo: {  
\_type: "terms",  
missing: 1,  
total: 0,  
other: 0  
terms: []  
}  
}  
}

However, the similar setup/facet query worked in 0.90.7.

Please advise if this no longer works in 1.0.1 or if I'm doing something  
wrong.

Try:

{  
"_default_": {  
"properties": {  
"foo": {  
"type": "nested",

- 

```
       "include_in_parent": true,*
      "properties": {
         "bar": {
            "index": "analyzed",
            "type": "string"
         }
      }
   }
}

```

}  
}

It's interesting that it worked in the previous version (I didn't expect it  
to). But the above should work in 1.x.

That worked!

After further review, I did in fact have that in my 0.90.7 config, but it  
got lost in translation to my 1.0.1 config.

MANY THANKS!!
