You can use the [terms aggregation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-aggregations-bucket-terms-aggregation.html) for that. For example:

```auto
GET my_index/_search
{
  "query": {
    "match": {
      "name": "john"
    }
  },
  "aggs": {
    "common_attributes": {
      "terms": {
        "field": "attribute",
        "size": 10,
        "order": {
          "_key": "asc"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

```

By default, it returns the 10 most common values, but you can add an `order` clause (as in the example above) to sort on for example the `key` (which represents the values of the `attribute` field).

You mean all instead of the top 10 most common values? In that case, you can use the [composite aggregation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-aggregations-bucket-composite-aggregation.html):

```auto
GET my_index/_search
{
  "size": 0,
  "query": {
    "match": {
      "name": "john"
    }
  },
  "aggs": {
    "all_attributes": {
      "composite": {
        "sources": [
          {
            "attribute": {
              "terms": {
                "field": "attribute"
              }
            }
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

```
