+==== Pipeline aggregations
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The composite agg is not currently compatible with pipeline aggregations, nor does it make sense in most cases.
|
|
|
+E.g. due to the paging nature of composite aggs, a single logical partition (one day for example) might be spread
|
|
|
+over multiple pages. Since pipeline aggregations are purely post-processing on the final list of buckets,
|
|
|
+running something like a derivative on a composite page could lead to inaccurate results as it is only taking into
|
|
|
+account a "partial" result on that page.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Pipeline aggs that are self contained to a single bucket (such as `bucket_selector`) might be supported in the future.
