Aggregation query on nested objects

[sripathi_kammari]

Hello All,

I have the following json object

 {
 "responses": [
{
  "question": {
    "name": "Please rate your experience"
  },
  "answers": [
    {
      "name": "4/10"
    }
  ]
},
{
  "question": {
    "name": "Designation"
  },
  "answers": [
    {
      "name": "Student"
    }
  ]
},
{
  "question": {
    "name": "Did you attempt any experiments ?"
  },
  "answers": [
    {
      "name": "No"
    }
  ]
  }
 ]
}

Here I would like to get the count of each unique answer to its corresponding question

I tried out following aggregation query

{
        "aggs": {
            "questions": {
                "terms": {
                    "field": "responses.question.name",
                    "order" : { "_count" : "asc" },
                    "size": 0
                    },
                    "aggs": {
            "answers": {
                "terms": {
                    "field": "responses.answers.name"
                    }
                    
            }
          
            
        }
                    
            }
          
            
        }
    }

This is listing count of all the available answers for every questions as below

          "took": 59,
