ElasticSearch Nested Aggregation with Cardinality on another field

[Tu5har (Tushar Kanta)]

I got the solution I was looking for. This can be achieved by using reverse nested aggregation.

As per the reference(https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-aggregations-bucket-reverse-nested-aggregation.html),
When nested aggregation is applied, the query runs against the nested document. So to access any field of parent document inside nested doc, reverse nested aggregation can be used.

The final query looks like:

{
  "size": 0,
  "aggregations": {
    "crankings": {
      "nested": {
        "path": "crankings"
      },
      "aggregations": {
        "crankings": {
          "terms": {
            "field": "crankings.name.raw",
            "size": 0
          },
          "aggregations": {
            "internal_cardinality": {
              "reverse_nested": { },
              "aggregations": {
                "cid": {
                  "cardinality": {
                    "field": "cid"
                  }
                }
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
