Terms Facet with Histograms

Hi,

I have a requirement according to which I need the count of terms but in
range buckets. Consider this scenario:

I have inserted the following documents in ES in an index:

{ "timestamp": 120000000, "combination": "1", "goal": "1" }
{ "timestamp": 120000002, "combination": "1", "goal": "2" }
{ "timestamp": 120000003, "combination": "2", "goal": "1" }
{ "timestamp": 120000015, "combination": "1", "goal": "2" }
{ "timestamp": 120000040, "combination": "1", "goal": "3" }
{ "timestamp": 120000043, "combination": "2", "goal": "3" }
{ "timestamp": 120000057, "combination": "1", "goal": "2" }

The following terms facet on the above data:
{
"query": {
"match_all": {}
},
"facets": {
"comb_goal": {
{
"terms": {
"script_field": "_source.combination + '-' + _source.goal",
}
}
}
}
}

would give me the following result:
{
"terms": [
{
"term": "1-1",
"count": 1,
},
{
"term": "1-2",
"count": 3,
},
{
"term": "1-3",
"count": 1,
},
{
"term": "2-1",
"count": 1,
},
{
"term": "2-3",
"count": 1,
},
]
}

My exact requirement is to get the above term counts but broken down into
buckets based on timestamp intervals. In a way, I want a histogram that
does terms counts instead of acting on numeric fields and doing
mathematical aggregation on it.

Is this possible at all using facets? The only way I see this possible is
by using multiple terms facets as I am using with range queries to handle
the timestamp buckets. But then I will have to form the buckets by myself
and this will mean a large number of queries if my date range is large. One
way to reduce the number of queries would be to use multi-search queries.
But isn't there a simpler way?

Looking forward to some valuable inputs on this problem.

Thanks,
Vaidik

I guess you will be able to do it with elasticsearch 1.0 and the new aggregation feature.
