Hello experts!
Is there a way to create facets fixed-size buckets? In other words, rather
than specifying ranges, we would specify the max number of items per bucket
and have ES figure out the ranges.
Thanks!

No, for both range and histogram facets you need to define the ranges /
intervals yourself.
