Nested Datatype Mapping

  • To maintain granularity of 'user' array indexing - 'nested' datatype can be used to index each object as an independent, hidden document:

    {
       "mappings": {
         "groups": {
           "properties": {
             "user": {
               "type": "nested" 
             }
           }
         } 
       }
    }
  • With above mapping user user.first:john AND user.last:white won't be found, with special query syntax
