Hi, I'm using nested objects, there are lot of nested objects inside a nested object, please view an example as following:

'transactions' =\> [  
'type' =\> 'nested',  
'properties' =\> [  
'id' =\> [  
'type' =\> 'keyword',  
],  
'total' =\> [  
'type' =\> 'float',  
],  
'date' =\> [  
'type' =\> 'date',  
],  
'products' =\> [  
'type' =\> 'nested',  
'properties' =\> [  
'brand' =\> [  
'type' =\> 'keyword',  
],  
'category\_id' =\> [  
'type' =\> 'keyword',  
],  
]  
]  
],  
],

My question is for setting: `index.mapping.nested_objects.limit`

does it only count for all nested objects ( 'transactions' and 'products') or first nested objects ('transactions') only ?

Thanks
