# 最大值桶聚合(Max Bucket Aggregation)

> 警告:此功能是实验性的，可能会在将来的版本中完全更改或删除。Elastic将采取最大的努力来解决此问题，但实验功能不受SLA官方功能的支持。

最大值桶聚合所定义的桶包含一组聚合指定度量的最大值，并且同时输出桶的键和值。指定的度量必须是数字并且这个聚合必须是多桶聚合。

`max_bucket`聚合结构如下：

```
{
    "max_bucket": {
        "buckets_path": "the_sum"
    }
}
```

`max_bucket` 参数如下：

以下代码段计算每月总销售额的最大值：

```
POST /sales/_search
{
    "size": 0,
    "aggs" : {
        "sales_per_month" : {
            "date_histogram" : {
                "field" : "date",
                "interval" : "month"
            },
            "aggs": {
                "sales": {
                    "sum": {
                        "field": "price"
                    }
                }
            }
        },
        "max_monthly_sales": {
            "max_bucket": {
                "buckets_path": "sales_per_month>sales" #1
            }
        }
    }
}
```

| 1 | buckets\_path指示这个max\_bucket聚合是要得到sales\_per\_month日期直方图中sales聚合的最大值。 |
