Overview

Bucket aggregation is an aggregation type in Elasticsearch that categorizes documents into distinct groups or buckets based on specific criteria. Every bucket represents a value, serving to define the documents contained within it. By default, this representation corresponds to the document count within the bucket.

There is a wide variety of bucket aggregations available in Elasticsearch, each differing in how they categorize documents into distinct buckets. The following are commonly used bucket aggregations:

  • Terms aggregation

  • Range aggregation

  • Histogram aggregation
