Bucket aggregations
editBucket aggregations group, or bucket, documents based on the aggregation type. To define the document buckets, bucket aggregations compute and return the number of documents for each bucket.

Pipeline aggregations
editPipeline aggregations are dependent on the outputs calculated from other aggregations. Parent pipeline aggregations are provided with the output of the parent aggregation, and compute new buckets or aggregations that are added to existing buckets. Sibling pipeline aggregations are provided with the output of a sibling aggregation, and compute new aggregations for the same level as the sibling aggregation.
