Can anyone help to get distinct values from ES data fields. I have a column with index setting as below  
"ItemType": {

- "type": "text",
- "fields": {
  - "keyword": {
    - "ignore\_above": 256,
    - "type": "keyword"}  
I tried to do Aggregation on itemtype directly but I was facing issue as it is text field.  
then I tried with itemtype.keyword then response was valid but 0 records.  
below is the code (using NEST)  
var res = client.Search\<Dictionary\<string,object\>\>(s =\> s.Index("jobs").Aggregations(  
a =\> a.Terms("ItemTypeagg", ag =\> ag.Field("itemtype.keyword")  
.Size(1000))));  
var data= res.Aggregations.Terms("ItemTypeagg");  
Can someone help with ES query so that I can make changes in Nest code.
