Hi there,

I'm working for an e-commerce website and I want to visualize stocks  
evolutions.  
This stock should be visualizable by (group) different hierarchy level.

Here is the mapping I did to represent the sale (=operation) hierarchy :

{  
"operations": {  
"mappings": {  
"operation": {  
"properties": {  
"Sites": {  
"properties": {  
"siteid": {  
"type": "long"  
},  
"siteuniversid": {  
"type": "long"  
},  
"univers": {  
"properties": {  
"id": {  
"type": "long"  
},  
"level": {  
"type": "long"  
},  
"name": {  
"type": "string"  
},  
"productFamilies": {  
"properties": {  
"id": {  
"type": "long"  
},  
"name": {  
"type": "string"  
},  
"references": {  
"type": "nested",  
"properties": {  
"name": {  
"type": "string"  
},  
"referenceid": {  
"type": "long"  
},  
_"stockevol"_: {  
"properties": {  
"date": {  
"type": "date",  
"format": "yyyy-MM-dd  
HH:mm:ss"  
},  
"initial": {  
"type": "integer"  
},  
"real": {  
"type": "integer"  
},  
"sold": {  
"type": "integer"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
},  
"univers": {  
"properties": {  
"id": {  
"type": "long"  
},  
"level": {  
"type": "long"  
},  
"name": {  
"type": "string"  
},  
"productFamilies": {  
"properties": {  
"id": {  
"type": "long"  
},  
"name": {  
"type": "string"  
},  
"references": {  
"type": "nested",  
"properties": {  
"name": {  
"type": "string"  
},  
"referenceid": {  
"type": "long"  
},  
_"stockevol"_: {  
"properties": {  
"date": {  
"type": "date",  
"format": "yyyy-MM-dd  
HH:mm:ss"  
},  
"initial": {  
"type": "integer"  
},  
"real": {  
"type": "integer"  
},  
"sold": {  
"type": "integer"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
},  
"code": {  
"type": "string"  
},  
"query": {  
"properties": {  
"match\_all": {  
"type": "object"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

As you can see, a _product_ (reference) is grouped into _product Family_  
witch is placed into a _univers_ (that can contains others universes) and  
this one is in a _site_ (country).  
When I get stocks informations, I do have only _referenceid_. I do not have  
information about the sale or other things. The sale informations  
(hierarchy) is already present with references (_referenceid_ and _name_)  
loaded but nothing in _stockevol_.  
So, I'd like to be able to add elements into my _stockevol_ but I don't  
know how to do it.

I thought that, by setting _references_ to nested type, I would be able to  
update it directly from the [http://myserver:9200/myindex/references](http://myserver:9200/myindex/references) but I  
failed.

Any help would be appreciated 🙂

Thank you.  
Aleks
