The old facet DSL was very nice and easy to understand. I could declare only which fields I wanted returned. how is this done with aggregations? The docs do not say. I am only interested in the aggregation metrics not all the document results. I tried setting "size":0 but that DOES NOT EVEN WORK. Any help appreciated.
