I can not use aggregation in scroll endpoint;  
The operation displays the following images:

As shown in image 1, I can only modify "max\_size" at last.  
But this should not be the ultimate solution, helping.

As specified in the [official documentation on scroll search](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-scroll.html):

> If the request specifies aggregations, only the initial search response will contain the aggregations results.

Oh, thank you, I seem to have ignored this line. I also want to ask you for a more than 10,000 data how to do aggregate.I'm confused

The 10000 limit is only for retrieving document results (i.e. what you get in `hits`), aggregations will work on any number of documents.
