Hi Michael
Yes, we are considering some approaches to be able to do these kind of things.
One concept being considered is an index with "product containers" which would be a combination of all product records sharing the same productid - e.g. all variants/family products and languages. Each document could be quite big though.
Another concept that we consider is adding a new grouping mechanism on products - an addition to productid, variantid and languageid. So a "ParentContainer" kind of fields that would be able to group a number of products in a more arbitrary way. This feature comes with a number of technical challenges as we need to find a way to handle field inheritance.
You will hear more when we are further into this and ready to do some actual implementation of it.
