Hello,

I'm running a bunch of aggregations on some keyword fields that have a normalizer. The aggregations get me the normalized values back as expected. But I need the original value to display to the user. Is there a way to also include the keyword's original value in source in the aggregation results? The way it is now, for every single item that aggs returns, I have to hit ES again with size=1 to get the original field value from the source. For some nested aggregation, this can easily add up to millions of additional queries just to get the original values.

Thanks,  
Sep
