Guys, I see that the cardinality aggregation feature is marked as experimental feature. We are using this feature and feel it is very useful. But would like to how if this feature will be supported going forward or any chance of getting removed? Thanks in advance.

Hi Govind, I don't see this aggregation being removed in the future. The experimental warning was rather about being able to change configuration options within a minor version update (for example one challenge of this aggregation was about how to expose the accuracy/memory trade-off, which is today exposed through the `precision_threshold` option). However this aggregation has not changed much in the latest releases so I wouldn't be surprised to see the experimental status removed soon.
