Hello,  
Imagine I am indexing posts that have tags, and I want to show the most  
frequent tags using a terms facet. I don't want to display the number of  
posts of all tags, I want something like:  
Tag1: 10%  
Tag2: 9%  
Tag3: 7%  
Tag4: 5%  
Others: 69%

Is there an easy way of grouping the least frequent terms in a terms facet  
search?

I am thinking about displaying the results using Protovis/D3.js charts, as  
explained here[http://www.elasticsearch.org/blog/2011/05/13/data-visualization-with-elasticsearch-and-protovis.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/blog/2011/05/13/data-visualization-with-elasticsearch-and-protovis.html)

I don't think it's possible
