Introduce client-side sorting of groups based on aggregate
functions. To allow this, the Analyzer has been extended to push down
to underlying Aggregate, aggregate function and the Querier has been
extended to identify the case and consume the results in order and sort
them based on the given columns.
The underlying QueryContainer has been slightly modified to allow a view
of the underlying values being extracted as the columns used for sorting
might not be requested by the user.
The PR also adds minor tweaks, mainly related to tree output.
Close#35118
Currently aggregate functions can operate only directly on fields.
They cannot be used on top of scalar functions as painless scripting
is currently not supported.
FIRST and LAST can be used with one argument and work similarly to MIN
and MAX but they are implemented using a Top Hits aggregation and
therefore can also operate on keyword fields. When a second argument is
provided then they return the first/last value of the first arg when its
values are ordered ascending/descending (respectively) by the values of
the second argument. Currently because of the usage of a Top Hits
aggregation FIRST and LAST cannot be used in the HAVING clause of a
GROUP BY query to filter on the results of the aggregation.
Closes: #35639
