Hi,

Is there an ES way to get a grand total of doc\_count of all buckets of a  
Terms aggregation? For instance to get 20 for the following:

{

```
"aggregations" : {
    "genders" : {
        "buckets" : [
            {
                "key" : "male",
                "doc_count" : 10
            },
            {
                "key" : "female",
                "doc_count" : 10
            },
        ]
    }
}

```

}

I am hoping of a hidden option in the query syntax that doesn't slow down  
the query.

Thanks a lot.
