When using a term\_stats facet can I provide a "script" to define the  
values to collect stats on just like in a term facet?  
that is

"facets" : {  
"tag\_price\_stats" : {  
"terms\_stats" : {  
"script" : "myFunnyRegisteredScript",  
"value\_field" : "aNumericField"  
}  
}  
}

Judging by the code, it appears not:  
[https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/search/facet/termsstats/TermsStatsFacetBuilder.java](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/search/facet/termsstats/TermsStatsFacetBuilder.java)  
(compared to [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/search/facet/terms/TermsFacetBuilder.java#L246](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/search/facet/terms/TermsFacetBuilder.java#L246)  
)

Both the documentation and code point to a field called  
"value\_script".It appears identical to "script" in the normal terms  
facet from a builders standpoint, but I have never tried it.
