Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I'm trying to do a second pass on an aggregation to analyze doc\_count. I keep getting:

```
                       Expected [START_OBJECT] under [script], but got a [VALUE_STRING]

```

Is it possible to do this? In my situation I have a bunch of documents with an id field. I'd like to count the occurrences for each unique id (I have this part working).

Next I need to categorize id occurrences such as ...

number of ids that occurred 0-5 times: 10  
number of ids that occurred 6-10 times: 4  
number of ids that occurred more than 10 times: 200

This is the script I have...

{  
"aggs" : {  
"updates\_by\_id": {  
"terms": {  
"script" : "doc['id'].value"  
}  
},  
// the above gives the correct occurences for each id (bucket)  
"id\_ count\_categorizer" : {  
"bucket\_script" : {  
"buckets\_path": {  
"count": "\_count"  
},  
"script": "println(count)" // what goes here?  
},  
"script": "println(count)" // according to the doc I thought this should go here, but it gets ignored  
}  
}  
}
