As far as I check Rally's doc, it seems like that we can't use aggregation as operations for Rally.  
Is my understanding correct?

[aggregation]

Off course it supports aggregations. Have a look at the standard [rally-tracks](https://github.com/elastic/rally-tracks) for some examples like [this one](https://github.com/elastic/rally-tracks/blob/master/nyc_taxis/operations/default.json#L31).

Hi Christian,  
Thank you for your support.  
Due to [https://github.com/elastic/rally-tracks](https://github.com/elastic/rally-tracks), I understood that we can use aggregations.  
Before I posted my question, I should have checked not only rally doc but also examples in git.
