Aggregations: Analyzing Data with Queries

In addition to basic searches, Elasticsearch supports powerful aggregations to analyze and summarize data.

Example: Aggregating Product Categories

Let’s aggregate the count of products by category:

GET /products/_search
{
"size": 0,
"aggs": {
"categories": {
"terms": {
"field": "category"
}
}
}
}

In this example:

  • We use the aggs (aggregations) clause to perform aggregations on our search results.
  • The terms aggregation groups documents by the category field, providing a count of products in each category.
