Using the _size field

edit

Using the `_size` field

edit

In order to enable the _size field, set the mapping as follows:

PUT my_index
{
  "mappings": {
    "_doc": {
      "_size": {
        "enabled": true
      }
    }
  }
}

The value of the _size field is accessible in queries, aggregations, scripts, and when sorting:

# Example documents
PUT my_index/_doc/1
{
  "text": "This is a document"
}

PUT my_index/_doc/2
{
  "text": "This is another document"
}

GET my_index/_search
{
  "query": {
    "range": {
      "_size": { 
        "gt": 10
      }
    }
  },
  "aggs": {
    "sizes": {
      "terms": {
        "field": "_size", 
        "size": 10
      }
    }
  },
  "sort": [
    {
      "_size": { 
        "order": "desc"
      }
    }
  ],
  "script_fields": {
    "size": {
      "script": "doc['_size']"  
    }
  }
}

	Querying on the `_size` field
	Aggregating on the `_size` field
	Sorting on the `_size` field
	Accessing the `_size` field in scripts (inline scripts must be modules-security-scripting.html#enable-dynamic-scripting[enabled] for this example to work)
