Hey guys,

I have a document with a nested field called "field1".  
I want to make an aggregation exist query by "field1"

Is this possible?

What i am trying to do:  
GET viewsdata/tmoview1/\_search  
{  
"query": {  
"match\_all": {}  
},  
"aggregations":{  
"views":{  
"filter": {  
"exists": {  
"field": "msv"  
}  
}  
}  
},  
"size": 0  
}

what do i do wrong?

Thnx Niv
