Say I have two documents like so: { "field1": "hello", "field2": "world" } { "field1": "moo" } And I run a terms facet on field2. It would give me count 1 for "world" but I would also want a count of 1 for null. Is this possible to achieve this somehow? (Note: all fields are set to non\_analysed in the dynamic\_mapping.json) Thanks Neil ---

Sure, quite simple to implement, can you open a feature request?

Looks like this was just added, sweet 馃檪 Curious, will this functionality treat all the following the same for field2? { "field1": "moo" } { "field1": "moo", "field2": null } { "field1": "moo", "field2": "" } Thanks!

Yea, though null values are generally better to use than empty strings.
