hi team  
I want to konw How to count the number of value in a multi-valued field in elasticsearch ?  
for example field A is multi-valued  
doc1 : A:[1,2,3],  
doc2: A:[2,3]  
doc3: A:[4,5]  
doc4: A:[1,3],  
doc5:A:[1]  
and so : doc1\_countA = 3,  
doc2\_countA = 2  
doc3\_count = 2  
doc4\_count = 2  
doc\_count = 1  
so how to count in elasticsearch ? have any plugs or Other methods?

I used Elasticsearch 5.3.0
