I've been reading a rather good book on ES and I discovered that in addition to queries, ES can aggregate data is useful ways. The Kibana document mentions using queries again indices but can we also use aggregations? If so , are there known limitations. If not, are there plans to support such a feature? I have an application that really needs some aggregation.

Any knowledge on this out there?

KB4 does everything, on the analytics front, using aggs 🙂
