Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-14687:
------------------------------------

Agree, this is super complex and trappy and this will be a great usability 
improvement! Thanks, Hoss!

> Make child/parent query parsers natively aware of _nest_path_

> A long standing pain point of the parent/child QParsers is the "all parents" 
> bitmask/filter specified via the "which" and "of" params (respectively).
> This is particularly tricky/painful to "get right" when dealing with 
> multi-level nested documents...

> ...and it's *really* hard to get right when the nested structure isn't 100% 
> consistent among all docs:
>  * collections that mix docs w/o children and docs that have children.
>  ** Ex: blog posts, some of which have child docs that are "comments", but 
> some don't
>  * when some "types" of documents can exist at multiple levels:
>  ** Ex: top level "product" documents, which may have 2 types of children: 
> "skus" and "manuals", but "skus" may also have their own wku-specific child 
> "manuals"
> BUT! ... now that we have some semi-native support for the {{_nest_path_}} 
> field, i think it may be possible to offer an "easier to use" variant syntax 
> of the parent/child QParsers that directly depends on these fields. This new 
> syntax should be optional – and purely syntactic sugar. "expert" users should 
> be able to do all the same things using the existing syntax (possibly more 
> efficiently depending on what invarients exist in their data model)
