I just can't understand what does this aggregation in TSVB do exactly. I think if anybody can translate it into Elasticsearch query DSL, then I can understand it.

Thank you so much in advance.

Hi @UchihaYuki

Top Hit means show the unique value that occurs the most common / most times... with a metrics that does not make sense...

You probably want Max, Avg etc. for metrics.

Top Hit is usually used with `keyword` types such as what are the most common categories, country codes, ip addresses etc...
