The cardinality agg delays calculating stuff until just before it is needed. Before #64016 it used the `postCollect` phase to do this work which was perfect for the `terms` agg but we decided that `postCollect` was dangerous because some aggs, notably the `parent` and `child` aggs need to know which children to build and they *can't* during `postCollect`. After #64016 we built the cardinality agg results when we built the buckets. But we if you sort on the cardinality agg then you need to do the `postCollect` stuff in order to know which buckets to build! So you have a chicken and egg problem. Sort of. This change splits the difference by running the delayed cardinality agg stuff as soon as you *either* try to build the buckets *or* read the cardinality for use with sorting. This works, but is a little janky and feels wrong. It feels like we could make a structural fix to the way we read metric values from aggs before building the buckets that would make this sort of bug much more difficult to cause. But any sort of solution to this is a larger structural change. So this fixes the bug in the quick and janky way and we hope to do a more structural fix to the way we read metrics soon. Closes #67782 |
