Is there any approach by using which i can pass the aggregation result as the input for other query. By aggregation result i mean the buckets key value. I want to use the "key" field value as the filter for other query. So, i can restrict the data to the key results. This i am trying to implement in java.

I am using two separate queries, if there is any better approach please suggest. Below is the response of my first query:

> "data\_aggregation": {  
> "doc\_count\_error\_upper\_bound": 0,  
> "sum\_other\_doc\_count": 0,  
> "buckets": [  
> {  
> "key": "1",  
> "doc\_count": 10  
> },  
> {  
> "key": "9",  
> "doc\_count": 1  
> }  
> ]  
> }  
> }

For this response i want to use key's value.

The Graph API effectively does this to walk the connections in data: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/graph-explore-api.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/graph-explore-api.html)

This is available as part of a Platinum subscription and has a graph visualization GUI to show connections. You can check it out for a trial period if you don't have a subscription
