Hi Admin. Currently iam working on ES version 1.0.1 . In the date histogram facets supports "value\_field" that helps to do bucketing on a different key. Now we are planning to upgrade ES version to 1.4.2, but in that date histogram facets i didn't find any documentation regarding this "value\_field". I need date bucketing with a different key. Can you please help me to find the documentation for this or am i missing any thing? Ref urls: [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-facets-date-histogram-facet.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-facets-date-histogram-facet.html) [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-aggregations-bucket-datehistogram-aggregation.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-aggregations-bucket-datehistogram-aggregation.html) Any help is much appreciated!

Hi, Aggregations don't support `value_field` and require to use a sub-aggregation instead.
