Hi, Im working with Elasticsearch aggregations in an particular index. I have a dought if aggregations do a full scan of the index or only do o partial scan.

Does anyone have an idea about this?

Welcome to our community! 😃

Unless you have a filter in your query, then yes it will check the index.
