we do a aggregation, and we only want to get the number of buckets it generated, is there any way to archive this goal ?

To some degree, I can archive this goal by setting size: 0 in the terms aggs to list all the generated buckets, but it really consumes much memory, so is there any internal API to do this job ?

Hello , Setting search\_type to count avoids executing the fetch phase of the search making the request more efficient. See Search Type [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-search-type.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-search-type.html) for more information on the search\_type parameter.

Hi vineeth, thanks for the tips, but I really want to know the number of the buckets generated by the aggs. a bucket\_count's value (like the doc\_count's value) in the response. 2014-09-02 10:00 GMT+08:00 vineeth mohan [vm.vineethmohan@gmail.com](mailto:vm.vineethmohan@gmail.com): > Hello , > > Setting search\_type to count avoids executing the fetch phase of the > search making the request more efficient.

Hello , Couple of options here. Add the count aggregation - > **[Elastic — The Search AI Company](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with The Elastic Search AI Platform. See into your data and find answers that matter with enterprise solutions designed to help you accelerate time to insight. Try Elastic ... { "aggregations": { "aggs": { "value\_count": { "field": "names" } } } } ## Or , set the size as 0 for the aggregation , it will return all the buckets > This might not be a good idea in case the number of buckets are too large. But again , the number of buckets seems to be a basic requirement and i feel there should be some other better way to do it. I will file an issue , if i dont find one.
