==== Significant Terms Aggregation

Here is how you can use
{ref}/search-aggregations-bucket-significantterms-aggregation.html[Significant Terms Aggregation]
with Java API.


===== Prepare aggregation request

Here is an example on how to create the aggregation request:

[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------
AggregationBuilder aggregation =
        AggregationBuilders
                .significantTerms("significant_countries")
                .field("address.country");

// Let say you search for men only
SearchResponse sr = client.prepareSearch()
        .setQuery(QueryBuilders.termQuery("gender", "male"))
        .addAggregation(aggregation)
        .get();
--------------------------------------------------


===== Use aggregation response

Import Aggregation definition classes:

[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------
import org.elasticsearch.search.aggregations.bucket.significant.SignificantTerms;
--------------------------------------------------

[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------
// sr is here your SearchResponse object
SignificantTerms agg = sr.getAggregations().get("significant_countries");

// For each entry
for (SignificantTerms.Bucket entry : agg.getBuckets()) {
    entry.getKey();      // Term
    entry.getDocCount(); // Doc count
}
--------------------------------------------------
