Hi All,

I am trying to form an aggregation query to get the top document for an item, Since we have indexed a data as like this, A single item has been partitioned into multiple documents as like below,

Item:- 012312  
Partitioned the item into multiple documents 012312\_1, 012312\_2 etc..

Below is the aggregation query,

GET /es\_item/item/\_search  
{  
"size": 0,  
"aggs": {  
"item\_types": {  
"terms": {  
"field": "ITEM\_ID"  
}  
}  
}  
}

The above query fetches the top 10 items from the overall indexed data and values are showing in desc order,

I want to pass a single item\_id in the aggregation query and get the top document in desc order.

Please help us to get this.

Thanks,  
Ganeshbabu R
