== Field stats API
|
|
|
|
experimental[]
|
|
|
|
The field stats api allows one to find statistical properties of a field
|
|
without executing a search, but looking up measurements that are natively
|
|
available in the Lucene index. This can be useful to explore a dataset which
|
|
you don't know much about. For example, this allows creating a histogram
|
|
aggregation with meaningful intervals based on the min/max range of values.
|
|
|
|
The field stats api by defaults executes on all indices, but can execute on
|
|
specific indices too.
|
|
|
|
All indices:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
curl -XGET "http://localhost:9200/_field_stats?fields=rating"
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Specific indices:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
curl -XGET "http://localhost:9200/index1,index2/_field_stats?fields=rating"
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Supported request options:
|
|
|
|
[horizontal]
|
|
`fields`:: A list of fields to compute stats for.
|
|
`level`:: Defines if field stats should be returned on a per index level or on a
|
|
cluster wide level. Valid values are `indices` and `cluster` (default).
|
|
|
|
Alternatively the `fields` option can also be defined in the request body:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
curl -XPOST "http://localhost:9200/_field_stats?level=indices" -d '{
|
|
"fields" : ["rating"]
|
|
}'
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is equivalent to the previous request.

|
=== Field statistics
|
|
|
|
The field stats api is supported on string based, number based and date based fields and can return the following statistics per field:
|
|
|
|
[horizontal]
|
|
`max_doc`::
|
|
|
|
The total number of documents.
|
|
|
|
`doc_count`::
|
|
|
|
The number of documents that have at least one term for this field, or -1 if
|
|
this measurement isn't available on one or more shards.
|
|
|
|
`density`::
|
|
|
|
The percentage of documents that have at least one value for this field. This
|
|
is a derived statistic and is based on the `max_doc` and `doc_count`.
|
|
|
|
`sum_doc_freq`::
|
|
|
|
The sum of each term's document frequency in this field, or -1 if this
|
|
measurement isn't available on one or more shards.
|
|
Document frequency is the number of documents containing a particular term.
|
|
|
|
`sum_total_term_freq`::
|
|
|
|
The sum of the term frequencies of all terms in this field across all
|
|
documents, or -1 if this measurement isn't available on one or more shards.
|
|
Term frequency is the total number of occurrences of a term in a particular
|
|
document and field.
|
|
|
|
`min_value`::
|
|
|
|
The lowest value in the field represented in a displayable form.
|
|
|
|
`max_value`::
|
|
|
|
The highest value in the field represented in a displayable form.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Documents marked as deleted (but not yet removed by the merge process)
|
|
still affect all the mentioned statistics.

=== Field stats index constraints
|
|
|
|
Field stats index constraints allows to omit all field stats for indices that don't match with the constraint. An index
|
|
constraint can exclude indices' field stats based on the `min_value` and `max_value` statistic. This option is only
|
|
useful if the `level` option is set to `indices`.
|
|
|
|
For example index constraints can be useful to find out the min and max value of a particular property of your data in
|
|
a time based scenario. The following request only returns field stats for the `answer_count` property for indices
|
|
holding questions created in the year 2014:
|
|
|

<1> The fields to compute and return field stats for.
|
|
<2> The set index constraints. Note that index constrains can be defined for fields that aren't defined in the `fields` option.
|
|
<3> Index constraints for the field `creation_date`.
|
|
<4> An index constraint on the `min_value` property of a field statistic.
|
|
|
|
For a field, index constraints can be defined on the `min_value` statistic, `max_value` statistic or both.
|
|
Each index constraint support the following comparisons:
|
|
|
|
[horizontal]
|
|
`gte`:: Greater-than or equal to
|
|
`gt`:: Greater-than
|
|
`lte`:: Less-than or equal to
|
|
`lt`:: Less-than
