If I have a facet like

"histogram": {  
"key\_field": "timestamp",  
"value\_field": "amount",  
"time\_interval": "1d"  
}  
I get a result set back like

{  
key: 1222732800000  
count: 642  
min: -985  
max: 483.25  
total: 1544.4000024795532  
total\_count: 642  
mean: 2.4056074804977463  
}  
Is there a way that I can get peak high and peak low of the tally? In other words if amount was a number series like:

-4, -8, 10, -3, 30, -20  
What i need is a way to determine that the tally's peak low was -12 and its peak high was 25.
