Hello everyone,

I have mapping that contains fileds like this  
{  
"team.id" : {"type": "long"},  
"team.value" : {"type" : "text"} with keyword of course.  
}

I may have documents with different team.id but same team.value.  
How can I look for distinct objects (distincts team.id ) and return the whole object team.

I _think_ you are looking for either field [collapsing](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-collapse.html) or the [terms](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-aggregations-bucket-terms-aggregation.html) aggregation.
