Hello, I want to do the following pipeline aggregation : - A term aggregation - For each term do an average aggregation (so here it's a sub aggregation) - Then do a range aggregation on the previous average values. Right now the 2 first step are working well. But i have issues doing the third one. I am using pipeline aggregation so I am for example able in the third step do compute the average instead a renage aggregation. But i do not know how to do a range aggregation in a pipeline aggregation. And if i try to do a range aggregation as a sub aggregation I do not know how to refer the previous computed average. If anyone undestands what I want to do can you describe me how to do it ? ---

What I am asking for seems not implemented ([https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/17590](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/17590)). As describe in the issue there is a way to have a part of the result by doing a bucket selector. But is there a way to count the number of element in the result with Elasticsearch ? (I don't Elastcisearch to return the whole result as I only need the number by bucket so I would like to use a filter\_path but for that i first need to count how many result there was) Then we can do multiples bucket selector in the same requests to have all ranges. ---
