Hi all,

Would it be possible to get unique items from an elastic search database  
that reference 2 fields for uniqueness, all while using only elastic search  
or a plug in?

_I.E._  
_Initial Data:_  
{  
provider: "tumblr"  
text: "I need to get this."  
}  
{  
provider: "twitter"  
text: "I need to get this."  
}  
{  
provider: "tumblr"  
text: "I need to get this."  
}

_Return:_  
{  
provider: "twitter"  
text: "I need to get this."  
}  
{  
provider: "tumblr"  
text: "I need to get this."  
}
