I'm new to Elasticsearch.  
I have been reading docs offered on Elasticsearch website.  
My question is from [Elasticsearch Reference [5.1] » Getting Started » Exploring Your Data » Executing Aggregations](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/_executing_aggregations.html)  
The description of the last example says "ages 20-29, 30-39, and 40-49", but the values of "to" in the example are 30, 40, 50 respectively.  
Shouldn't the values of "to" be 29, 39, and 49 as described?  
I can't tell if this is an error or correct.

No, it actually says :-

> ```
> "from": 20,
> "to": 30
> },
> {
> "from": 30,
> "to": 40
> },
> {
> "from": 40,
> "to": 50
> 
> ```

and in "from" or "to", you don't actually consider the boundary values. So its more like this :- (20, 30) rather than [20,30] in mathematical notation.

So "from" is actually :- "value" \> "20"  
and for \>= we have "gte" and \<= we have "lte" which translate to "Greater than, equal to" and "less than, equal to" respectively.
