Unlike the "terms" facet, the "terms\_stats" facet doesn't appear to support using a "script\_field" instead of a "key\_field". Is this simply a missing feature, or is this not practical (or is there a better way to accomplish this)? I'm trying to use a facet to average numeric values either by hour-of-day, day-of-week or by month-of-year. -- ---

Maybe this facet plugin can help you?
