The GeoBounds Aggregation is a new single bucket aggregation which outputs the coordinates of a bounding box containing all the points from all the documents passed to the aggregation as well as the doc count. Geobound Aggregation also use a wrap_logitude parameter which specifies whether the resulting bounding box is permitted to overlap the international date line. This option defaults to true.
This aggregation introduces the idea of MetricsAggregation which do not return double values and cannot be used for sorting. The existing MetricsAggregation has been renamed to NumericMetricsAggregation and is a subclass of MetricsAggregation. MetricsAggregations do not store doc counts and do not support child aggregations.

This aggregation computes unique term counts using the hyperloglog++ algorithm
which uses linear counting to estimate low cardinalities and hyperloglog on
higher cardinalities.
Since this algorithm works on hashes, it is useful for high-cardinality fields
to store the hash of values directly in the index, which is the purpose of
the new `murmur3` field type. This is less necessary on low-cardinality
string fields because the aggregator is smart enough to only compute the hash
once per unique value per segment thanks to ordinals, or on numeric fields
since hashing them is very fast.
