Composite Aggregation using Java Rest High-level Client

[mahendra-s]

Describe the feature: Composite Aggregation using Java Rest High-level Client
Elasticsearch version (bin/elasticsearch --version): 6.5.4
Our solution is built using Java Rest High-level client and we are using most of all services from this library.

As of now from "org.elasticsearch.client" % "elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client" % "6.5.4" there is no way to create composite aggregation request.

Please suggest alternative solution or any plan to incorporate this function

hi @mahendra-s have you tried using CompositeAggregationBuilder? Not sure if I am missing something but what made you think that composite aggs are not supported in the high-level REST client?

[tKe]

Currently the aggregations are mostly discoverable through the org.elasticsearch.search.aggregations.AggregationBuilders helpers, however there isn't one for CompositeAggregationBuilder - this may be why @mahendra-s hasn't found the builder?

[javanna]

yes that could be it, I see that composite cannot be created through AggregationBuilders, thanks for pointing that out @tKe . All the aggregation builders can also be created directly, so that is possible and should solve your issue @mahendra-s .
