What is the ElasticSearch equivalent for an SQL subquery?

Question

Can you nest queries logically in ElasticSearch, so the output of one query is the input to another query. Another, way to ask is how can I chain or pipe queries together?

Answer 1

Elasticsearch doesn't support subqueries; you would need to perform your first query, then construct a second query using the results of the first query as an input.

Answer 2

That is totally correct, you must programm a subquery in your favorite programming language. An example can be found here:

Answer 3

this is not supported in elastic-search you must normalize your data and have all field you need in one setting
