Imagine the following data :

data: [  
{ A: 1  
B: 1  
C: 1  
}  
{ A: 1  
B: 1  
C: 2  
}  
{ A: 3  
B: 1  
C: 23  
}  
...  
]

When I query, I would like to receive every data that has its value B as 1,  
but I don't want them to share the same A value. In other words I would  
like my query result to contain unique A values. So in this example I would  
have either C = 2, 23 or C = 1, 23. Is this achievable in elastic search ?

No. This is something you would need to solve client side
