Elastic search Nested recursive type

Question

We use Spring Data Elasticsearch to design our search engine. I'm just wondering how we can match parent and child objects of the same type / document? The code looks something like this:

@Document(indexName = "customer", type = "catalogue_item")
public class CatalogueItemDocument {
...

@Field(type = FieldType.Nested, includeInParent = true)
private Set<CatalogueItemDocument> children;

...

}

Is it possible? If not, how can I achieve this using the parent-child implementation proposed by Elasticsearch here .
