**If you see below image we need to repeat this for each document by hard coding tha value of "my\_field" .But what i actually wanted was that "message" field in all documents in an index is split automatically in 1 go . For this we need to run the command one by one that too by using actual value of message(my\_field in this case) field .**

First you need to do mapping your index if want to aggregation kind of things, if you have already data in index then need to create new index with mapping and re index .
