-A filtering aggregation used to limit any sub aggregations' processing to a sample of the top-scoring documents. Diversity settings are
|
|
|
-used to limit the number of matches that share a common value such as an "author".
|
|
|
+Like the `sampler` aggregation this is a filtering aggregation used to limit any sub aggregations' processing to a sample of the top-scoring documents.
|
|
|
+The `diversified_sampler` aggregation adds the ability to limit the number of matches that share a common value such as an "author".
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+NOTE: Any good market researcher will tell you that when working with samples of data it is important
|
|
|
+that the sample represents a healthy variety of opinions rather than being skewed by any single voice.
|
|
|
+The same is true with aggregations and sampling with these diversify settings can offer a way to remove the bias in your content (an over-populated geography,
|
|
|
+a large spike in a timeline or an over-active forum spammer).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
|
.Example use cases:
|
|
|
* Tightening the focus of analytics to high-relevance matches rather than the potentially very long tail of low-quality matches
|
|
|
* Removing bias from analytics by ensuring fair representation of content from different sources
|
|
|
* Reducing the running cost of aggregations that can produce useful results using only samples e.g. `significant_terms`
|
|
|
|
|
|
+A choice of `field` or `script` setting is used to provide values used for de-duplication and the `max_docs_per_value` setting controls the maximum
|
|
|
+number of documents collected on any one shard which share a common value. The default setting for `max_docs_per_value` is 1.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The aggregation will throw an error if the choice of `field` or `script` produces multiple values for a single document (de-duplication using multi-valued fields is not supported due to efficiency concerns).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
+We might want to see which tags are strongly associated with `#elasticsearch` on StackOverflow
|
|
|
+forum posts but ignoring the effects of some prolific users with a tendency to misspell #Kibana as #Cabana.
