I want to create a word cloud from a text field. But i couldn't find a direct API for it. Any suggestion will be helpful. ---

The [terms](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-aggregations-bucket-terms-aggregation.html) aggregation or the [significant terms](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-aggregations-bucket-significantterms-aggregation.html) aggregation will work but both rely on using "fielddata" which will be very heavy on RAM usage for large indexes. In the elasticsearch 6 alpha there is a new [significant text](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/search-aggregations-bucket-significanttext-aggregation.html) aggregation which is more suited to this purpose. ---
