{  
"size":0,  
"aggs" : {  
"avg\_speed" : {"max" : {"field" : "Speed" } }  
}  
}

* * *

{  
"query": {  
"bool": {  
"must": [  
{  
"range":{  
"Speed":{  
"gte":{"avg\_speed"}  
}  
}  
}  
]  
}  
}  
Can i club above two queries? I want to use avg\_speed computed in first query in the next range query, is their any functionality like this?  
Problem domain is: I want to compute documents that have speed range greater then average speed

There is no way to do this in a single request.
