Hello, I'm trying to get percentiles aggregation from rather big document size count ( over 400,000 )  
I know that query size limitation of documents is10000 as default.  
I wonder it applies to aggregation so that it results aggregation of only 10000 documents.  
I checked that it applies for all documents through stats aggregation, but i want to make sure that percentiles aggregation also works for over 10000 documents.

Thank you

Aggregations run across the full data set. It is only retrieval of actual matching documents that are size limited.
