Following is my query:  
{  
size: 0,  
aggs:{  
property:{  
nested: {path: "dept"},  
aggs: {  
dept\_name: {  
terms: {  
field: "dept.dept\_name"  
size: 10000  
},  
aggs: {  
id: {  
cardinality: {  
field:"dept\_dept\_name.id"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

**I will get the output as::**

"buckets":[  
{  
"key":"IT",  
"doc\_count":1212,  
"id":{  
"value":4}  
}  
]

**But i want the out put as**  
"buckets":[  
{  
"key":"XXXXX",(Key\_name shouldnt be displayed)  
"doc\_count":1212,  
"id":{  
"value":4}  
}  
]

I dont want to display the Key\_just doc count and value because my key data is sensitive data.  
Is there any way to hide the following data.

Thanks,

I don't think there is a way to do this easily and performant at this point.

Hi..I found the work around by filter\_path to display the data which is required .. 😛
