Hi, From looking at the docs, didn't seem overly clear. Is it possible to include the data in an aggregate, or is it counts only?

Aggregations only report counts or various metrics (see the metrics aggregations: stats, min, max, sum, percentiles, cardinality, top\_hits, ...).

Maybe top\_hits is what you are looking for? Does this condition still apply? Any chances to overcome a need of hard-coding `size` argument? ---
