Nested Datatype

• Nested is a specialized version of 'object' datatype that allows querying of arrays of objects independently one from another
• Lucene has no concept of inner objects and hence data is flattened when being indexed with not quite as expected behavior.
• Data posted

  {
  "group" : "fans",
  "members" : [ 
    {
      "first" : "John",
      "last" :  "Smith"
    },
    {
      "first" : "Alice",
      "last" :  "White"
    }
  ]
  }
  

• Indexed as:

  {
  "group" :        "fans",
  "members.first" : [ "alice", "john" ],
  "members.last" :  [ "smith", "white" ]
  }
  

• What you think would be a consequence of such indexing?
• Should you be able to find person John White or Alice Smith?
