Nested Sub-query does not generate correct elastic search syntax.

bodybuilder()
	.query('term', 'field', 'something')
       .andQuery('bool', (q) => {
     	return q.query('term', 'obj1.color', 'blue')
  	})
        .build()

generates bool.query which is not valid as per ES [bool] query does not support [query]

{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must": [
        {
          "term": {
            "field": "something"
          }
        },
        {
          "bool": {
            "query": {
              "term": {
                "obj1.color": "blue"
              }
            }
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

This is just simplistic scneario, I genuinely have some subqueries wiith nested path’s as well which does not work. I can come up with better example if this does not make sense.

Please advise if there is a workaround I can apply ?

That’s a known-issue. You can’t have a single level nesting. If you think about it, it’s redundant. It can be brought up a level.

@johannes-scharlach Using filter instead of query will work, but filter and query have a different behavior regarding scoring (https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.0/query-filter-context.html).
