=== Range Aggregation

A multi-bucket value source based aggregation that enables the user to define a set of ranges - each representing a bucket. During the aggregation process, the values extracted from each document will be checked against each bucket range and "bucket" the relevant/matching document.
Note that this aggregation includes the `from` value and excludes the `to` value for each range.

Example:

[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_search
{
  "aggs": {
    "price_ranges": {
      "range": {
        "field": "price",
        "ranges": [
          { "to": 100.0 },
          { "from": 100.0, "to": 200.0 },
          { "from": 200.0 }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[setup:sales]
// TEST[s/GET \/_search/GET \/_search\?filter_path=aggregations/]

Response:

[source,console-result]
--------------------------------------------------
{
  ...
  "aggregations": {
    "price_ranges": {
      "buckets": [
        {
          "key": "*-100.0",
          "to": 100.0,
          "doc_count": 2
        },
        {
          "key": "100.0-200.0",
          "from": 100.0,
          "to": 200.0,
          "doc_count": 2
        },
        {
          "key": "200.0-*",
          "from": 200.0,
          "doc_count": 3
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

==== Keyed Response

Setting the `keyed` flag to `true` will associate a unique string key with each bucket and return the ranges as a hash rather than an array:

[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_search
{
  "aggs": {
    "price_ranges": {
      "range": {
        "field": "price",
        "keyed": true,
        "ranges": [
          { "to": 100 },
          { "from": 100, "to": 200 },
          { "from": 200 }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[setup:sales]
// TEST[s/GET \/_search/GET \/_search\?filter_path=aggregations/]

Response:

[source,console-result]
--------------------------------------------------
{
  ...
  "aggregations": {
    "price_ranges": {
      "buckets": {
        "*-100.0": {
          "to": 100.0,
          "doc_count": 2
        },
        "100.0-200.0": {
          "from": 100.0,
          "to": 200.0,
          "doc_count": 2
        },
        "200.0-*": {
          "from": 200.0,
          "doc_count": 3
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
--------------------------------------------------
// TESTRESPONSE[s/\.\.\.//]

It is also possible to customize the key for each range:

[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_search
{
  "aggs": {
    "price_ranges": {
      "range": {
        "field": "price",
        "keyed": true,
        "ranges": [
          { "key": "cheap", "to": 100 },
          { "key": "average", "from": 100, "to": 200 },
          { "key": "expensive", "from": 200 }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[setup:sales]
// TEST[s/GET \/_search/GET \/_search\?filter_path=aggregations/]

Response:

[source,console-result]
--------------------------------------------------
{
  ...
  "aggregations": {
    "price_ranges": {
      "buckets": {
        "cheap": {
          "to": 100.0,
          "doc_count": 2
        },
        "average": {
          "from": 100.0,
          "to": 200.0,
          "doc_count": 2
        },
        "expensive": {
          "from": 200.0,
          "doc_count": 3
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

==== Script

Range aggregation accepts a `script` parameter. This parameter allows to defined an inline `script` that
will be executed during aggregation execution.

The following example shows how to use an `inline` script with the `painless` script language and no script parameters:

[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_search
{
  "aggs": {
    "price_ranges": {
      "range": {
        "script": {
          "lang": "painless",
          "source": "doc['price'].value"
        },
        "ranges": [
          { "to": 100 },
          { "from": 100, "to": 200 },
          { "from": 200 }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}
--------------------------------------------------

It is also possible to use stored scripts. Here is a simple stored script:

[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
POST /_scripts/convert_currency
{
  "script": {
    "lang": "painless",
    "source": "doc[params.field].value * params.conversion_rate"
  }
}
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[setup:sales]

And this new stored script can be used in the range aggregation like this:

[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_search
{
  "aggs": {
    "price_ranges": {
      "range": {
        "script": {
          "id": "convert_currency",       <1>
          "params": {                     <2>
            "field": "price",
            "conversion_rate": 0.835526591
          }
        },
        "ranges": [
          { "from": 0, "to": 100 },
          { "from": 100 }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[s/GET \/_search/GET \/_search\?filter_path=aggregations/]
// TEST[continued]

<2> Parameters to use when executing the stored script

  "aggregations": {
    "price_ranges": {
      "buckets": [
        {
          "key": "0.0-100.0",
          "from": 0.0,
          "to": 100.0,
          "doc_count": 2
        },
        {
          "key": "100.0-*",
          "from": 100.0,
          "doc_count": 5
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

==== Value Script

Lets say the product prices are in USD but we would like to get the price ranges in EURO. We can use value script to convert the prices prior the aggregation (assuming conversion rate of 0.8)

[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /sales/_search
{
  "aggs": {
    "price_ranges": {
      "range": {
        "field": "price",
        "script": {
          "source": "_value * params.conversion_rate",
          "params": {
            "conversion_rate": 0.8
          }
        },
        "ranges": [
          { "to": 35 },
          { "from": 35, "to": 70 },
          { "from": 70 }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[setup:sales]

==== Sub Aggregations

The following example, not only "bucket" the documents to the different buckets but also computes statistics over the prices in each price range

[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_search
{
  "aggs": {
    "price_ranges": {
      "range": {
        "field": "price",
        "ranges": [
          { "to": 100 },
          { "from": 100, "to": 200 },
          { "from": 200 }
        ]
      },
      "aggs": {
        "price_stats": {
          "stats": { "field": "price" }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
