Nested field support #1084

Description

@Alex-Ikanow

This is sort of a duplicate of some other issues I searched for but I haven't seen this particular aspect discussed, so I thought this was worth a separate issue.

You read the _mapping field, so you should know when a particular field is nested, so can it not automatically apply the correct nested facet/query when such a field is selected in queries or facets?

(Alternatively/in addition as suggested by #532, you could have a checkbox to allow users to select it themselves, perhaps as an interim measure)

I'm sure there are some cases where this gets complicated, but there are also a bunch of cases where it's a straightforward changing of one block of JSON to another.
