Hello, I try to make elasticsearch query to perform below action

## I have 4 documents like this

## \_id : 1 user\_id : 12345 number : 1

## \_id : 2 user\_id : 12345 number : 2

## \_id : 3 user\_id : 12345 number : 3

## \_id : 4 user\_id : 45678 number : 1

From the index, i want to get documents which is bigger number with same user\_id.

So In this case, when i execute the query, i want to get documents like below:

## \_id : 3 user\_id : 12345 number : 3

## \_id : 4 user\_id : 45678 number : 1

Because \_id 3 has big number (3) in the same user\_id.  
\_id 4 is the same reason.

Can you give me an advice to query elasticsearch to get documents?

Thank you.

You can try this.

```auto
{
  "query": {},
  "size": 0,
  "aggs": {
    "data": {
      "terms": {
        "field": "user_id",
        "size": "10"
      },
      "aggs": {
        "max_number": {
          "max": {
            "field": "number"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

```
