These aggs and fields can be used in any combination. Think of the `groups`
configuration as defining a set of tools that can later be used in aggregations
to partition the data. Unlike raw data, we have to think ahead to which fields
and aggregations might be used. Rollups provide enough flexibility that you
simply need to determine _which_ fields are needed, not _in what order_ they are
needed.

`calendar_interval` or `fixed_interval`::::
(Required, <<time-units,time units>>) The interval of time buckets to be
generated when rolling up. For example, `60m` produces 60 minute (hourly)
rollups. This follows standard time formatting syntax as used elsewhere in

`fields`::::
(Required, array) The set of fields that you wish to build histograms for. All
fields specified must be some kind of numeric. Order does not matter.
`interval`::::
(Required, integer) The interval of histogram buckets to be generated when
rolling up. For example, a value of `5` creates buckets that are five units wide
(`0-5`, `5-10`, etc). Note that only one interval can be specified in the
`histogram` group, meaning that all fields being grouped via the histogram
must share the same interval.

`terms`:::
(Optional, object) The terms group can be used on `keyword` or numeric fields
to allow bucketing via the `terms` aggregation at a later point. The indexer
enumerates and stores _all_ values of a field for each time-period. This can
be potentially costly for high-cardinality groups such as IP addresses,
especially if the time-bucket is particularly sparse.
