> [@krishnaraj221193](#): > > i can see document with id=b is created twice which is duplicate You may have confused my `id` field with elasticsearch's internal `_id` field. Maybe a less confusing choice of field name would be `person_id`. It is not a duplicate in my example and is a deliberate assertion required to express one of the relationships shown in the diagram. > [@krishnaraj221193](#): > > { "id":1,"name":"a" } > > { "id":2,"name":"b","parent":1 } You will need to use the example format I provided rather than your example data above. ---

Hi sir thanks for the reply with your example it create 2 documents but internally document data will be same only for maintaining parent as A and child as C b data need to be entered 2 times in my case there can be 1:n childrens so i cant able to create n parent document for n childs ---

hi sir basically i need parent child relationship for same index type which is not possible so we are using nested object but its difficult to maintain so is there a way to create relation for same type document ---

My example was about parents in terms of fathers and mothers - not any elasticsearch notion of placing parent/child documents in the same shard. I'm still unclear as to exactly what business problem you are trying to solve. If you are talking about using elasticsearch parent/child functionality to represent marriages (i.e. your "Anna --wife--\> dave" example) then this introduces some problems. How do you determine who is the "parent" document in a marriage? Is it always the male? Do you know the genders? What happens in a same-sex marriage? etc. My examples can be used to express any relationship (wife/brother/mother/employer...) and do not mandate any physical co-location although clearly having everything in one place is always an advantage if the data volumes aren't too high. ---

In graph request if vertex has the fields then why is it required to add in connections and why exclude field is used in connections ---
