Using the _size field

edit

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

PUT my-index-000001
{
  "mappings": {
    "_size": {
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}

The value of the _size field is accessible in queries, aggregations, scripts, and when sorting. It can be retrieved using the fields parameter:

# Example documents
PUT my-index-000001/_doc/1
{
  "text": "This is a document"
}

PUT my-index-000001/_doc/2
{
  "text": "This is another document"
}

GET my-index-000001/_search
{
  "query": {
    "range": {
      "_size": {                      
        "gt": 10
      }
    }
  },
  "aggs": {
    "sizes": {
      "terms": {
        "field": "_size",             
        "size": 10
      }
    }
  },
  "sort": [
    {
      "_size": {                      
        "order": "desc"
      }
    }
  ],
  "fields": ["_size"],                
  "script_fields": {
    "size": {
      "script": "doc['_size']"
