Thanks to Igor Motov I just finished my first elasticsearch code (for the facet script plugin). Its still an early prototype but I thought I should release and share early. It works similar to the approx-plugin [https://github.com/ptdavteam/elasticsearch-approx-plugin](https://github.com/ptdavteam/elasticsearch-approx-plugin) which gives you a distinct elements histogram. An approximation of unique elements within a time slot. My plugin does something similar but is similar to the original term facet. It gives you an estimate of the distinct elements for one field, based on another. Mind to share your thoughts? Any feedback is welcome. And I am more than happy to discuss it. -- ---

Is source for your plugin available somewhere?

maybe this is also of interest for you, there is a distinct date histogram facet > **[GitHub - crate/elasticsearch-timefacets-plugin: Elasticsearch Timebased Facets](https://github.com/crate/elasticsearch-timefacets-plugin)** > > Elasticsearch Timebased Facets.

I can't believe I forgot the link: [hyperloglog for elasticsearch script facet plugin (alpha code) · GitHub](https://gist.github.com/4206141) Shame on me.

Nice, can't wait to try it !!

Does anyone has code sample for es Java api. I mean usage of this using Elastic search java API? It works fine using rest API but I am having trouble running it in ES JAVA API.
