I'd like to group documents by a field (cluster\_id) and find the distribution of group sizes Ex: 200 groups have size 1 150 have size 2 ... 50 have size 30 I tried with { "size": 0, "aggs" : { "clusters": { "terms" : { "field": "selection.cluster\_id", "size": 1000 } }, "stats\_cluster": { "stats\_bucket": { "buckets\_path": "clusters\>\_count" } } } } but selection.cluster\_id cardinality is 3M, and don't need the huge bucket list in the result ---
