Hello,

How can I retrieve distinct values from multiple fields in elasticsearch ?

I have used the below method, but it seems too nested. Can someone provide a more efficient way of doing it ?

{  
"size":"0",  
"aggs" : {  
"uniq\_lest" : {  
"terms" : { "field" : "Area.keyword" },  
"aggs" : {  
"uniq\_test" : {  
"terms" : { "field" : "Locati.keyword"},  
"aggs" : {  
"uniq\_mest" : {  
"terms" : { "field" : "Age.keyword"}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}
