* Removes experimental.
* Replaces `"v"` (for value) with `"m"` (for metric).
* Move the note about tiebreaking into the list of limitations of the
sort.
* Explain how you ask for `metrics`.
* Clean up some wording.
* Link to the docs from `top_metrics`.
Closes#51813
This changes the `top_metrics` aggregation to return metrics in their
original type. Since it only supports numerics, that means that dates,
longs, and doubles will come back as stored, with their appropriate
formatter applied.
The `top_metrics` agg is kind of like `top_hits` but it only works on
doc values so it *should* be faster.
At this point it is fairly limited in that it only supports a single,
numeric sort and a single, numeric metric. And it only fetches the "very
topest" document worth of metric. We plan to support returning a
configurable number of top metrics, requesting more than one metric and
more than one sort. And, eventually, non-numeric sorts and metrics. The
trick is doing those things fairly efficiently.

The method parameter is not used in the percentile aggs, instead
the method is determined by the presence of `hdr` or `tdigest`
objects.

* Adds support for geo-bounds filtering in geogrid aggregations (#50002)
It is fairly common to filter the geo point candidates in
geohash_grid and geotile_grid aggregations according to some
viewable bounding box. This change introduces the option of
specifying this filter directly in the tiling aggregation.
This is even more relevant to `geo_shape` where the bounds will restrict
the shape to be within the bounds
this optional `bounds` parameter is parsed in an equivalent fashion to
the bounds specified in the geo_bounding_box query.
Adds support for the `offset` parameter to the `date_histogram` source
of composite aggs. The `offset` parameter is supported by the normal
`date_histogram` aggregation and is useful for folks that need to
measure things from, say, 6am one day to 6am the next day.
This is implemented by creating a new `Rounding` that knows how to
handle offsets and delegates to other rounding implementations. That
implementation doesn't fully implement the `Rounding` contract, namely
`nextRoundingValue`. That method isn't used by composite aggs so I can't
be sure that any implementation that I add will be correct. I propose to
leave it throwing `UnsupportedOperationException` until I need it.
Closes#48757
If `geo_point fields` are multi-valued, using `geo_centroid` as a
sub-agg to `geohash_grid` could result in centroids outside of bucket
boundaries.
This adds a related warning to the geo_centroid agg docs.
* Docs: Refine note about `after_key`
I was curious about composite aggregations, specifically I wanted to
know how to write a composite aggregation that had all of its buckets
filtered out so you *had* to use the `after_key`. Then I saw that we've
declared composite aggregations not to work with pipelines in #44180. So
I'm not sure you *can* do that any more. Which makes the note about
`after_key` inaccurate. This rejiggers that section of the docs a little
so it is more obvious that you send the `after_key` back to us. And so
it is more obvious that you should *only* use the `after_key` that we
give you rather than try to work it out for yourself.
* Apply suggestions from code review

Percentile aggregations are non-deterministic. A percentile aggregation
can produce different results even when using the same data.
Based on [this discuss post][0], the non-deterministic property stems
from processes in Lucene that can affect the order in which docs are
provided to the aggregation.
This adds a warning stating that the aggregation is non-deterministic
and what that means.

This is a spinoff of #48130 that generalizes the proposal to allow early termination with the composite aggregation when leading sources match a prefix or the entire index sort specification.
In such case the composite aggregation can use the index sort natural order to early terminate the collection when it reaches a composite key that is greater than the bottom of the queue.
The optimization is also applicable when a query other than match_all is provided. However the optimization is deactivated for sources that match the index sort in the following cases:
* Multi-valued source, in such case early termination is not possible.
* missing_bucket is set to true
The example snippets in the percentile rank agg docs use a test dataset
named `latency`, which is generated from docs/gradle.build.
At some point the dataset and example snippets were updated, but the
text surrounding the snippets was not. This means the text and the
example snippets shown no longer match up.
This corrects that by changing the snippets using /TESTRESPONSE magic comments.
Backport of #47468 to 7.x
This PR adds a new metric aggregation called string_stats that operates on string terms of a document and returns the following:
min_length: The length of the shortest term
max_length: The length of the longest term
avg_length: The average length of all terms
distribution: The probability distribution of all characters appearing in all terms
entropy: The total Shannon entropy value calculated for all terms
This aggregation has been implemented as an analytics plugin.
* Minor improvement to the nested aggregation docs
* The attributes name and resellers.name were rather confusing,
especially since the first one was dynamically mapped and not shown
in the documentation (you had to read the test to see it). This
change introduces a unique name for the nested attribute and adds
the example document to the documentation.
* Change the index name from "index" to something more speaking.
* Update docs/reference/aggregations/bucket/nested-aggregation.asciidoc

Following performance optimisations to the adjacency_matrix aggregation we no longer require this setting. Marked as deprecated and due for removal in 8.0

This adds a pipeline aggregation that calculates the cumulative
cardinality of a field. It does this by iteratively merging in the
HLL sketch from consecutive buckets and emitting the cardinality up
to that point.
This is useful for things like finding the total "new" users that have
visited a website (as opposed to "repeat" visitors).
This is a Basic+ aggregation and adds a new Data Science plugin
to house it and future advanced analytics/data science aggregations.
This adjusts the `buckets_path` parser so that pipeline aggs can
select specific buckets (via their bucket keys) instead of fetching
the entire set of buckets. This is useful for bucket_script in
particular, which might want specific buckets for calculations.
It's possible to workaround this with `filter` aggs, but the workaround
is hacky and probably less performant.
- Adjusts documentation
- Adds a barebones AggregatorTestCase for bucket_script
- Tweaks AggTestCase to use getMockScriptService() for reductions and
pipelines. Previously pipelines could just pass in a script service
for testing, but this didnt work for regular aggs. The new
getMockScriptService() method fixes that issue, but needs to be used
for pipelines too. This had a knock-on effect of touching MovFn,
AvgBucket and ScriptedMetric
Introduce shift field to MovingFunction aggregation.
By default, shift = 0. Behavior, in this case, is the same as before.
Increasing shift by 1 moves starting window position by 1 to the right.
To simply include current bucket to the window, use shift = 1
For center alignment (n/2 values before and after the current bucket), use shift = window / 2
For right alignment (n values after the current bucket), use shift = window.
