Hi,  
I'm implementing a terms aggregation with a field in a nested object.  
What I expect is that the aggregation only takes the matched nested object, but it takes the whole document.  
I've seen a partial solution using a filter in the aggregation, but it's limited because I can only apply range, match or terms filters.  
There is another approach to get an aggregation with only the matched nested objects?
