Count of unique values in a field

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Is there a way to get a count of the # of unique terms for a field? I know
I can use a terms facet with a large size to get a list of all the unique
values for a field (and their individual counts), but what if I just want
the # of unique terms instead of the terms themselves?

The termlist plugin will get you close, but it returns all the values, not
just the count:

It shouldn't be too hard to modify the plugin to return only the counts.
