I want to ask how to use **SQL DISTINCT Pair of Values in Elasticsearch**. Like below,

```auto
SELECT distinct username, city from country_table

```

I can run below query for just one field. In the aggs json, I can only see "username" fields.

**But I need DISTINCT username, city pair.**

```auto
{
  "_source": ["username","city"]
  "aggs": {
     "unique_ids": 
        {
           "terms": { "fields": "username" }
        }
  }
}

```

How can i solve this ?

Thanks for answering

You should add a sub aggregation on the other field.
