Apologies if this is a very straightforward schema design problem that
should be fairly obvious, but I'm not seeing a good way to do it.
Let's say I have an index that wants to model Albums and Tracks, and
they all have arbitrary tags attached to them (represented by
multivalue string type fields).  Tracks also have an album id field
which can be used to associate them with an album.  I'd like to
perform a query which shows both Track and Album results, but
suppresses Tracks that are associated with Albums in the result set.

I am tempted to use a "join" here, but I have reservations because it
is my understanding that joins cannot work across shards, and I'm not
sure it's a good idea to limit myself in that way if possible.  Any
suggestions?  Is there a standard solution to this type of problem
where you've got hierarchical items and you don't want children shown
in the same result as the parent?
