When we apply term aggregation and sort by min aggregation the result is not stable. Sort by values going great, but objects with the same values ​​do not have a permanent position. Example - we change the number of objects while objects with a value of 20 and 30 begin to behave strangely: 1: 10 2: 20 3: 20 4: 30 6: 30 and 1: 10 3: 20 2: 20 6: 30 5: 30 4: 30 7: 40 8: 40 9: 40 10: 40 Index isolated (ie, it does not get the new data). Can we prevent such situations? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
