We can see the nested percentiles aggs always NaN.

Is there anything wrong with my query? Thanks

Very sorry about it, when I creating the minimal dataset, I found the top data is not enough for `date_histogram` aggs in `2s` interval. So it generates `NaN` results in most buckets.

Really really sorry about it.
