TIP: When ingesting key-value pairs with a large, arbitrary set of keys, you might consider modeling each key-value pair as its own nested document with `key` and `value` fields. Instead, consider using the <<flattened,flattened>> data type, which maps an entire object as a single field and allows for simple searches over its contents.
Nested documents and queries are typically expensive, so using the `flattened` data type for this use case is a better option.

WARNING: Nested fields have incomplete support in Kibana. While they are visible and searchable in Discover, they cannot be used to build visualizations in Lens.
