Hello, In the Java API AbstractAggregationBuilder's name property is protected. Is there a particular reason it can't be public, or have an accessor added, or is this something you'd consider a PR for? Not having access is making things more complicated than I'd like.

Hi Phil, We would indeed consider a PR for that change if it makes things easier to you. Feel free to ping me when you open it so that I don't miss it.
