[[relate]] two way relation

[kbonevska]

Hello there, admirations for the project, amazing work.

We have the following relation mapping in our config, but it seems it is causing an endless loop of updates in the elastic.
Is it possible to do such relation with [[relate]]?

direct-read-namespaces = ["authors","articles"]
change-stream-namespaces = ["authors","articles"]
resume-strategy = 1

[[relate]]
namespace = "authors"
with-namespace = "articles"
src-field = "topicID"
match-field = "topicID"
keep-src = true

[[relate]]
namespace = "articles"
with-namespace = "authors"
src-field = "topicID"
match-field = "topicID"
keep-src = true

hi @kbonevska thank you. can you try setting the max-depth property of the relate?

[[relate]]
namespace = "authors"
with-namespace = "articles"
src-field = "topicID"
match-field = "topicID"
keep-src = true
max-depth = 1

[[relate]]
namespace = "articles"
with-namespace = "authors"
src-field = "topicID"
match-field = "topicID"
keep-src = true
max-depth = 1

It probably should be detecting cycles like this. I will look into that for the next release.
