A sibling pipeline aggregation which calculates a variety of stats across all bucket of a specified metric in a sibling aggregation. The specified metric must be numeric and the sibling aggregation must be a multi-bucket aggregation.
A stats_bucket aggregation looks like this in isolation:
{
    "stats_bucket": {
        "buckets_path": "the_sum"
    }
}Table 12. stats_bucket Parameters
| Parameter Name | Description | Required | Default Value | 
|---|---|---|---|
| 
 | The path to the buckets we wish to calculate stats for (see  | Required | |
| 
 | The policy to apply when gaps are found in the data (see Dealing with gaps in the data for more details) | Optional | 
 | 
| 
 | format to apply to the output value of this aggregation | Optional | 
 | 
The following snippet calculates the stats for monthly sales:
POST /sales/_search
{
    "size": 0,
    "aggs" : {
        "sales_per_month" : {
            "date_histogram" : {
                "field" : "date",
                "interval" : "month"
            },
            "aggs": {
                "sales": {
                    "sum": {
                        "field": "price"
                    }
                }
            }
        },
        "stats_monthly_sales": {
            "stats_bucket": {
                "buckets_path": "sales_per_month>sales"  }
        }
    }
}
            }
        }
    }
}|
