I have some PR data in my ES. This is how the documents are modelled
```
{
"Author" : "dheerajrav",
"Date" : "2012-10-05T10:16:49Z",
"Number" : 2554441,
"IsMerged" : false,
"MergedBy" : "",
"Body" : ""
},
{
"Author" : "dheerajrav",
"Date" : "2012-10-05T09:11:35Z",
"Number" : 2553883,
"IsMerged" : false,
"MergedBy" : "",
"Body" : ""
},
{
"Author" : "crodjer",
"Date" : "2012-10-04T15:40:22Z",
"Number" : 2544540,
"IsMerged" : false,
"MergedBy" : "",
"Body" : ""
},
{
"Author" : "crodjer",
"Date" : "2012-10-04T07:52:20Z",
"Number" : 2539410,
"IsMerged" : false,
"MergedBy" : "",
"Body" : ""
}
.
.
.
]
}
```
I am trying the following terms agg on my index but I get no results
```
curl -X GET "localhost:9200/newidx/_search?pretty" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{
"aggs" : {
"contributors" : {
"terms" : {
"field" : "Author",
"size" : 100
}
}
}
}
'
```
The desired result would have been separate buckets for each PR author. This is the response
```
"aggregations" : {
"contributors" : {
"doc_count_error_upper_bound" : 0,
"sum_other_doc_count" : 0,
"buckets" : []
}
}
```
Am I modeling my data wrong?

What is the mapping?
Could you provide a full recreation script as described in [About the Elasticsearch category](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21). It will help to better understand what you are doing. Please, try to keep the example as simple as possible.
A full reproduction script will help readers to understand, reproduce and if needed fix your problem. It will also most likely help to get a faster answer.

This is the mapping for my index
```
{
"newidx" : {
"mappings" : {
"properties" : {
"Stats" : {
"properties" : {
"Author" : {
"type" : "text",
"fields" : {
"keyword" : {
"type" : "keyword",
"ignore_above" : 256
}
}
},
"Body" : {
"type" : "text",
"fields" : {
"keyword" : {
"type" : "keyword",
"ignore_above" : 256
}
}
},
"Date" : {
"type" : "date"
},
"IsMerged" : {
"type" : "boolean"
},
"MergedBy" : {
"type" : "text",
"fields" : {
"keyword" : {
"type" : "keyword",
"ignore_above" : 256
}
}
},
"Number" : {
"type" : "long"
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
```
I generate a json file in my code and index it to elasticsearch using elasticsearch\_loader, here is the command
`elasticsearch_loader --es-host 'localhost' --index org-skills --type incident json --lines processed.json`

Try to run the agg on Stats.Author.keyword.
Why do you index those inner objects all together instead of a document per object?
