Perform Elasticsearch aggregation without returning hits array

Question

Im using ES 1.4. When I perform an aggregation, the result returns the hits array as well. Is there a way to only return the aggregations?

You would have to specify in the query that the size is equal to 0

ex :

{ 
    "query": ... ,
    "aggs": ... ,
    "size": 0
}

You can find the related documentation here.

The new documentation link is here: elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/… And it recommends the "size": 0 approach
