Hi,

Is there any way to do scripted bucket aggregations against existing indexes and write the results to a new index within elasticsearch itself? Like some way to combine the scripted bucket aggregations with the reindex API?

Thanks,  
Casie

There's no way to do this using Elasticsearch alone. You can use X-Pack's `search` input ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/input-search.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/input-search.html)) to define a query and then an `index` action ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/actions-index.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/actions-index.html)) to insert the result back into an index.
