Can someone please help me on the below requirement ?

I am able to group by single field using Term aggregation but  
I always end up with fetching top 10 buckets since size defaults to 10.

1. Is there a way where I can get total distinct groups available  
and get just 10 as per the default size ? [ Total distinct groups might be  
sometimes 1lakh - I have a requirement where I will have to  
display total distinct groups available]

2. Can I perform Term Aggregations on numeric fields as well similar  
to string fields in ES ?
