Parsing Hierarchical Data
The connector offers three basic configurations to model documents as tables, described in the following sections. The connector will parse the Elasticsearch document and identify the nested documents.
- Flattened Documents Model: Implicitly join nested documents into a single table.
- Relational Model: Model nested documents as individual tables containing a primary key and a foreign key that links to the parent document.
- Top-Level Document Model: Model a top-level view of an Elasticsearch document. Nested documents are returned as JSON strings.
