How can I use aggregations to get all of the buckets in my index?  
Right now I add "size:30" to get all of the buckets.

```
GET /index_name/_search?size=0
{
  "aggs":{
    "aggs_name":{
      "terms":{"field":"Field_Name.keyword", **"size": 30** , 
        "order": {
          "_count": "desc"
        }
      }
        }
      }
}

```

But I will not know how many buckets there will be, so I'd like to send a command to get all buckets by default.
