When i use following query, it shows only 10 buckets as default

"aggs": {  
"group": {  
"terms": {  
"field": "user.keyword"  
}

when i need to get all buckets i used following query

"aggs": {  
"group": {  
"terms": {  
"field": "user.keyword",  
"size":100000  
}

Is there any way to get all the documents, without mention 10000.

if you need to go through all results of an aggregation, check out the [composite aggregation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.3/search-aggregations-bucket-composite-aggregation.html), as otherwise you will run into the [max\_buckets limitation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.3/search-aggregations-bucket.html)
