Aggregation Pagination

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello,

I am using ElasticSearch aggregations to group results. More specifically, I am using a composite aggregation at the top level and then using a bucket selector sub-aggregation to determine what buckets are to be returned from the top level aggregation.

My question is how to implement pagination here? My query looks as follows:

{
    "size": 0,
    "aggs": {
        "Project_aggregation": {
            "composite": {
                "size": 10,
                "sources": [{
                    "terms_aggregation": {
                        "terms": {
                            "field": "ProjectID"
                        }
                    }
                }]
            },
            "aggs": {
                "latest_project_timestamp": {
                    "max": {
                        "field": "ProjectStartTime"
                    }
                },
                "project_which_satisfies_filters": {
                    "filter": {
                        "match": {
                            "Category": "Small"
                        }
                    },
                    "aggs": {
                        "start_time": {
                            "max": {
                                "field": "ProjectStartTime"
                            }
                        }
                    }
                },
                "find_if_latest_project_is_same_as_project_which_satisfies_filters": {
                    "bucket_selector": {
                        "buckets_path": {
                            "LatestProjectStartTime": "latest_project_timestamp",
                            "ProjectWhichSatisfiesFiltersStartTime": "project_which_satisfies_filters>start_time"
                        },
                        "script": "params.CurrentProjectStartTime == params.ProjectWhichSatisfiesFiltersStartTime"
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

If I set page size to 10 and then the bucket selector weeds out 4 buckets, I will have only 6 buckets left. Sometimes I will get empty results with an after key and I have to loop several times to get the next set of results.

I can use the above solution to do several queries until I get the desired bucket count, however this is not optimal.

If there is an alternate solution to the above query, that would be useful too, basically for each project ID I want to retrieve only the latest document. Assuming the latest document does not satisfy certain filters, it should not be returned. Please let me know if there is a way to avoid using the bucket selector aggregation which is causing the issue with having to do multiple queries.

Thanks,
Raonic
