ElasticSearch - How to display an additional field name in aggregation query

Question

How can I add a new key called 'agency_name' in my output bucket.

I am running an aggregation code as shown below

{   "aggs": {     "name": {       "terms": {         "field": "agency_code"       }     }   } } 

I will be getting the out put as

"aggregations": {     "name": {         "doc_count_error_upper_bound": 130,         "sum_other_doc_count": 39921,         "buckets": [             {                 "key": "1000",                 "doc_count": 105163             },             {                 "key": "2100",                 "doc_count": 43006             }         ]     } } 

While displaying I need to show the agency name, code and doc_count

How can I modify the aggregation query so that I could get the below format. I am new to ElasticSearch, not sure how to fix this

"aggregations": {     "name": {         "doc_count_error_upper_bound": 130,         "sum_other_doc_count": 39921,         "buckets": [             {                 "key": "1000",                 "doc_count": 105163,                 "agency_name": 'Agent 1'             },             {                 "key": "2100",                 "doc_count": 43006,                 "agency_name": 'Agent 2'             }         ]     } } 

Sample Data in ElasticSearch (fields are analysed)

{      "_index": "feeds",     "_type": "news",     "_id": "22005",     "_version": 1,     "_score": 1,     "_source": {         "id": 22005,         "name": "Test News",         "agency_name": "Agent 1",         "agency_code": "1000",     }  } 

Answer 1

You can use the top hits aggregation like in the link below. The format will be slightly different since creating the extra aggregation will embed the agency name under another 'hits' key.

Adding additional fields to ElasticSearch terms aggregation

{   "aggs": {     "name": {       "terms": {         "field": "agency_code"       },       "aggs": {         "agency_names" : {            "top_hits": {                 size: 1,                  _source: {                     include: ['agency_name']                 }             }          }         }     }   } } 

Answer 2

I think you would need to add another "aggs" to it. But it would not be in the format in which you want but as another field in the output , reason being currently you are aggregating based on "agency_code" and the doc_count shows how many times the particular agency code occurs. Now when you want to aggregate it based on "agency_name" the field might in different documents than "agency_code" and in different numbers as well , if they always exist in pair than this parent-child indexing might be of some help.
