Hi,

I have the following problem, I am trying to use date\_histogram facet on  
nested object. Please check the mapping, data, query and the result here:

> <https://gist.github.com/anonymous/99ca2a71742774d9786b>
>
> There are more than three files. show original

  
The result for facet1 is empty, could you help me fix this issue ? I have  
the same situation when I follow the example from here:  
[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/search/facets/](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/search/facets/) (Facets  
with the nested types), the result for facet1 is empty.

Thanks.  
Best regards.

It's interesting, after upgrading ES from 0.19.3 to 0.19.4 the query works  
fine and returns correct results.
