+# Joining queries
+
+OpenSearch is a distributed system in which data is spread across multiple nodes. Thus, running a SQL-like JOIN operation in OpenSearch is resource intensive. As an alternative, OpenSearch provides the following queries that perform join operations and are optimized for scaling across multiple nodes:
+
+- `nested` queries: Act as wrappers for other queries to search [nested]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/field-types/supported-field-types/nested/) fields. The nested field objects are searched as though they were indexed as separate documents.
+- `has_child` queries: Search for parent documents whose child documents match the query.
+- `has_parent` queries: Search for child documents whose parent documents match the query.
+- `parent_id` queries: A [join]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/field-types/supported-field-types/nested/) field type establishes a parent/child relationship between documents in the same index. `parent_id` queries search for child documents that are joined to a specific parent document. 
+
+If [`search.allow_expensive_queries`]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/query-dsl/index/#expensive-queries) is set to `false`, then joining queries are not executed.

 Specifying a large value in `max_expansions` can lead to poor performance, especially if `prefix_length` is set to `0`, because of the large number of variations of the word that OpenSearch tries to match.
