For example, "desc" is a text field (fielddata = true)

doc1 PUT {"desc", "aaa aaa aaa"}  
doc2 PUT {"desc", "aaa xxx"}

When I do a terms aggreation on it, and I will get a "doc count",  
but I want to get the term count,  
"aaa" 4  
"xxx" 1

Thanks for any reply!(DSL or Java High level are all okay)

Hi,  
What you want to get is [term vectors](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.8/docs-termvectors.html) rather than term aggregation.
