Use objects in array type and nested objects as root object type

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello,

a) how can I use a object in array type.

e.g.

folder : {
path : "C:/Windows",
files (should be an array of filetype) :
[
{
name : "File1.txt",
description : "Example file 1"
},
{
name : "File2.txt",
description : "Example file 2"
}
]
}

Files array type should be array of file object type

b) What I have to do, to have the file object type as a root object
type. The folder (root object type) would have nested file root object
type.

Thank You

You send a single JSON to be indexed, what you have in the JSON will be
indexed. If you want to search for a specific file name, you can (using your
JSON) use folder.files.name:something (that 'folder.files.name" can be used
anywhere in elasticsearch that accepts a field).

Thanks, it works with query "folder.files.name",
but "folder" objects are found, but like expected with all
"files" (matched and unmatched "files").

It is possible to search "folder" and "file" objects? I want something
like

a) curl -XGET http://...:9200/indexname/folder/_search?q=folder.path:xxx
=> "folder" objects are found
b) curl -XGET http://...:9200/indexname/folder/files/_search?q=folder.files.name:xxx
=> "file" objects are found

Therefore I thought that nested "file" object should be also "root"
object.

You can only navigate from the top level object and downwards. What you can
do, is define the pathType for object mapping as explained here:
http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/mapping/object_type/#pathType
.
