Interval search for messages in Elasticsearch - elasticsearch

Question

I need to split the found messages into intervals. Can this be done with Elasticsearch?
For example. There are 10 messages, you need to divide them into 3 intervals. It should look like this...
[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9] => {[0,1,2], [3,4,5,6], [7,8,9]}.
I'm only interested in the beginning of the intervals. For example: {[count - 3, min 0], [count - 4, min 3], [count - 3, min - 7]}
Example.
PUT /test_index
{
"mappings": {
"properties": {
"id": {
"type": "long"
}
}
}
}
POST /test_index/_doc/0
{
"id": 0
}
POST /test_index/_doc/1
{
"id": 1
}
POST /test_index/_doc/2
{
"id": 2
}
POST /test_index/_doc/3
{
"id": 3
}
POST /test_index/_doc/4
{
"id": 4
}
POST /test_index/_doc/5
{
"id": 5
}
POST /test_index/_doc/6
{
"id": 6
}
POST /test_index/_doc/7
{
"id": 7
}
POST /test_index/_doc/8
{
"id": 8
}
POST /test_index/_doc/9
{
"id": 9
}
It is necessary to divide the values ​​into 3 intervals with the same number of elements in each interval:
{
...
"aggregations": {
"result": {
"buckets": [
{
"min": 0.0,
"doc_count": 3
},
{
"min": 3.0,
"doc_count": 4
},
{
"min": 7.0,
"doc_count": 3
}
]
}
}
}
There is a similar function: "variable width histogram":
GET /test_index/_search?size=0
{
"aggs": {
"result": {
"variable_width_histogram": {
"field": "id",
"buckets": 3
}
}
},
"query": {
"match_all": {}
}
}
But "variable width histogram" separates documents by id value, not by the number of elements in the bucket

Assuming your mapping is like:
{
"some_numeric_field" : {"type" : "integer"}
}
Then you can build histograms out of it with fixed interval sizes:
POST /my_index/_search?size=0
{
"aggs": {
"some_numeric_field": {
"histogram": {
"field": "some_numeric_field",
"interval": 7
}
}
}
}
Results:
{
...
"aggregations": {
"prices": {
"buckets": [
{
"key": 0.0,
"doc_count": 7
},
{
"key": 7.0,
"doc_count": 7
},
{
"key": 14.0,
"doc_count": 7
}
]
}
}
}
To get the individual values inside each bucket, just add a sub-aggregation, maybe "top_hits" or anything else like a "terms"
aggregation.
Without knowing more about your data, I really cannot help further.
