Description

It is impossible to index Parent/Child documents using ElasticsearchIO

 

When using parent/child documents in Elasticsearch, child documents must be indexed using the "parent" attribute when using the bulk endpoint.

There needs to be a "parent" attribute on the DocumentMetadata object. I think a FieldValueExtractFn would work really nicely for this

Research direction

Start with sdks/java/io/elasticsearch/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/sdk/io/elasticsearch/ElasticsearchIO.java and inspect DocumentMetadata, FieldValueExtractFn, and the bulk indexing path. The change is complete when child documents can supply a parent value and Elasticsearch bulk requests include the parent attribute; use the existing ElasticsearchIO tests if available to verify this behavior.
