## Aggregations on text fields
By default, OpenSearch doesn't support aggregations on a text field.
Because text fields are tokenized, an aggregation on a text field has to reverse the tokenization process back to its original string and then formulate an aggregation based on that. Such an operation consumes significant memory and degrades cluster performance.

This kind of an operation consumes significant memory and degrades cluster performance.
While you can enable aggregations on text fields by setting the `fielddata` parameter to `true` in the mapping, the aggregations are still based on the tokenized words and not on the raw text.
We recommend keeping a raw version of the text field as a `keyword` field that you can aggregate on.
In this case, you can perform aggregations on the `title.raw` field, instead of the `title` field:

The name of the aggregation helps you to distinguish between different aggregations in the response.

Aggregations within aggregations are called nested or sub aggregations.
