Hi Jochen, 

Yes, it seems tricky to deal with distinct groups in Elastic. Most of what 
I find are people looking for counts only, or grouping in more complex 
ways. I was able to craft a (deprecated) facets query to elastic directly 
like this: 

curl -X POST "http://localhost:9200/_all/_search?pretty=true"; -d '
  {
    "query" : { "query_string" : {"query" : "*"} },
    "facets" : {
      "users" : { "terms" : {"field" : "UserName", "size":1000000} }
    }
  }
'

That returns all of the distinct terms in the UserName field, up to 1 
million records. This should be done using the Aggregations queries 
instead, but this Facets query does work.
