=== Stats Aggregation
|
|
|
|
A `multi-value` metrics aggregation that computes stats over numeric values extracted from the aggregated documents. These values can be extracted either from specific numeric fields in the documents, or be generated by a provided script.
|
|
|
|
The stats that are returned consist of: `min`, `max`, `sum`, `count` and `avg`.
|
|
|
|
Assuming the data consists of documents representing exams grades (between 0 and 100) of students
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
{
|
|
"aggs" : {
|
|
"grades_stats" : { "stats" : { "field" : "grade" } }
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The above aggregation computes the grades statistics over all documents. The aggregation type is `stats` and the `field` setting defines the numeric field of the documents the stats will be computed on. The above will return the following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
{
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
"aggregations": {
|
|
"grades_stats": {
|
|
"count": 6,
|
|
"min": 60,
|
|
"max": 98,
|
|
"avg": 78.5,
|
|
"sum": 471
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The name of the aggregation (`grades_stats` above) also serves as the key by which the aggregation result can be retrieved from the returned response.
|
|
|
|
==== Script
|
|
|
|
Computing the grades stats based on a script:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
{
|
|
...,
|
|
|
|
"aggs" : {
|
|
"grades_stats" : {
|
|
"stats" : {
|
|
"script" : {
|
|
"lang": "painless",
|
|
"inline": "doc['grade'].value"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This will interpret the `script` parameter as an `inline` script with the `painless` script language and no script parameters. To use a file script use the following syntax:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
{
|
|
...,
|
|
|
|
"aggs" : {
|
|
"grades_stats" : {
|
|
"stats" : {
|
|
"script" : {
|
|
"file": "my_script",
|
|
"params" : {
|
|
"field" : "grade"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
TIP: for indexed scripts replace the `file` parameter with an `id` parameter.
|
|
|
|
===== Value Script
|
|
|
|
It turned out that the exam was way above the level of the students and a grade correction needs to be applied. We can use a value script to get the new stats:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
{
|
|
"aggs" : {
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
"aggs" : {
|
|
"grades_stats" : {
|
|
"stats" : {
|
|
"field" : "grade",
|
|
"script" :
|
|
"lang": "painless",
|
|
"inline": "_value * params.correction",
|
|
"params" : {
|
|
"correction" : 1.2
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
==== Missing value
|
|
|
|
The `missing` parameter defines how documents that are missing a value should be treated.
|
|
By default they will be ignored but it is also possible to treat them as if they
|
|
had a value.
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
{
|
|
"aggs" : {
|
|
"grades_stats" : {
|
|
"stats" : {
|
|
"field" : "grade",
|
|
"missing": 0 <1>
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
<1> Documents without a value in the `grade` field will fall into the same bucket as documents that have the value `0`.
