Serial Differencing Aggregation Usageedit

Fluent DSL exampleedit

s => s
.Size(0)
.Aggregations(a => a
    .DateHistogram("projects_started_per_month", dh => dh
        .Field(p => p.StartedOn)
        .Interval(DateInterval.Month)
        .Aggregations(aa => aa
            .Sum("commits", sm => sm
                .Field(p => p.NumberOfCommits)
            )
            .SerialDifferencing("second_difference", d => d
                .BucketsPath("commits")
                .Lag(2)
            )
        )
    )
)

Object Initializer syntax exampleedit

new SearchRequest<Project>
{
    Size = 0,
    Aggregations = new DateHistogramAggregation("projects_started_per_month")
    {
        Field = "startedOn",
        Interval = DateInterval.Month,
        Aggregations =
            new SumAggregation("commits", "numberOfCommits") &&
            new SerialDifferencingAggregation("second_difference", "commits")
            {
                Lag = 2
            }
    }
}

Example json output.

  "size": 0,
  "aggs": {
    "projects_started_per_month": {
      "date_histogram": {
        "field": "startedOn",
        "interval": "month"
      },
      "aggs": {
        "commits": {
          "sum": {
            "field": "numberOfCommits"
          }
        },
        "second_difference": {
          "serial_diff": {
            "buckets_path": "commits",
            "lag": 2
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Handling Responsesedit

response.ShouldBeValid();

var projectsPerMonth = response.Aggs.DateHistogram("projects_started_per_month");
projectsPerMonth.Should().NotBeNull();
projectsPerMonth.Buckets.Should().NotBeNull();
projectsPerMonth.Buckets.Count.Should().BeGreaterThan(0);

var differenceCount = 0;

foreach (var item in projectsPerMonth.Buckets)
{
    differenceCount++;
    var commits = item.Sum("commits");
    commits.Should().NotBeNull();
    commits.Value.Should().NotBe(null);

    var secondDifference = item.SerialDifferencing("second_difference");

    // serial differencing specified a lag of 2, so
    // only expect values from the 3rd bucket onwards
    if (differenceCount <= 2)
        secondDifference.Should().BeNull();
    else
    {
        secondDifference.Should().NotBeNull();
        secondDifference.Value.Should().NotBe(null);
    }
}
