Most of the examples in the pipeline aggregation docs use a small
"sales" test data set and I converted all of the examples that use
it to `// CONSOLE`. There are still a bunch of snippets in the pipeline
aggregation docs that aren't `// CONSOLE` so they aren't tested. Most
of them are "this is the most basic form of this aggregation" so they
are more immune to errors and bit rot then the examples that I converted.
I'd like to do something with them as well but I'm not sure what.
Also, the moving average docs and serial diff docs didn't get a lot of
love from this pass because they don't use the test data set or follow
the same general layout.
Relates to #18160
This change adds a new special path to the buckets_path syntax
`_bucket_count`. This new option will return the number of buckets for a
multi-bucket aggregation, which can then be used in pipeline
aggregations.
Closes#19553
This pipeline will calculate percentiles over a set of sibling buckets. This is an exact
implementation, meaning it needs to cache a copy of the series in memory and sort it to determine
the percentiles.
This comes with a few limitations: to prevent serializing data around, only the requested percentiles
are calculated (unlike the TDigest version, which allows the java API to ask for any percentile).
It also needs to store the data in-memory, resulting in some overhead if the requested series is
very large.
This pipeline aggregation runs a script on each bucket in the parent aggregation to determine whether the bucket is kept in the final aggregation tree. If the script returns true the bucket is retained, if it returns false the bucket is dropped
This adds a new pipeline aggregation, the cumulative sum aggregation. This is a parent aggregation which must be specified as a sub-aggregation to a histogram or date_histogram aggregation. It will add a new aggregation to each bucket containing the sum of a specified metrics over this and all previous buckets.
