Multiple nested queries to the same path?












1















Let's say I have a nested structure like A -> B -> C
I'm trying to create a kind of query builder which would allow a query like



(A.a = 1 && A.B.b =2) || (A.B.b = 4 && A.B.C.c = 1)


or even more complex. So to do it I'm using multiple nested queries related with the same path



{
"query": {
"bool": {
"should": [
{
"bool": {
"must": [
{
"term": {
"a": {
"value": "1"
}
}
},
{
"nested": {
"path": "B",
"query": {
"term": {
"B.b": {
"value": "2"
}
}
}
}
}
]
}
},
{
"bool": {
"must": [
{
"nested": {
"path": "B",
"query": {
"term": {
"B.b": {
"value": "4"
}
}
}
}
},
{
"nested": {
"path": "B.C",
"query": {
"term": {
"B.C.c": {
"value": "1"
}
}
}
}
}
]
}
}
]
}
}
}


but the results are not what I would expect them to be. I know I can move the B.C.c condition to be an inner nested query but it's not the case. Maybe to simplify a bit I would expect a query like below:



{
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": [
{
"nested"....
},
{
"nested" to the same path as index 0
}
]
}
}
}


to be A && B but it seems it's not. For a query I'm struggling with it seems like the second nested condition is omitted.



The queries I need to build may have conditions from different levels grouped together, and every condition may be used multiple times in different groups. What is the correct approach for such a scenario?



EDIT:
It seems that both nested queries work on separate nested documents. Is there a way to make them run on the same nested document and preserve the query structure (two nested queries, not one)? So if the first nested query has condition A.a = 1 and the second nested is A.b = 2 the result would be
A.a = 1 && A.b = 2 insted of A.a = 1 || A.b = 2
