an _id

scripts, and when sorting:
# Example documents PUT my-index-000001/_doc/1?refresh=true { "text": "Document with type 'doc'" } GET my-index-000001/_search { "query": { "term": { "_type": "_doc" } }, "aggs": { "types": { "terms": { "field": "_type", "size": 10 } } }, "sort": [ { "_type": { "order": "desc" } } ], "script_fields": { "type": { "script": { "lang": "painless", "source": "doc['_type']" } } } }
