[[mapping-parent-field]]
=== `_parent`

The parent field mapping is defined on a child mapping, and points to
the parent type this child relates to. For example, in case of a `blog`
type and a `blog_tag` type child document, the mapping for `blog_tag`
should be:

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
    "blog_tag" : {
        "_parent" : {
            "type" : "blog"
        }
    }
}
--------------------------------------------------

The mapping is automatically stored and indexed (meaning it can be
searched on using the `_parent` field notation).
