Reverse nested aggregations

You can aggregate values from nested documents to their parent; this aggregation is called reverse_nested. You can use reverse_nested to aggregate a field from the parent document after grouping by the field from the nested object. The reverse_nested aggregation “joins back” the root page and gets the load_time for each for your variations.

The reverse_nested aggregation is a sub-aggregation inside a nested aggregation. It accepts a single option named path. This option defines how many steps backwards in the document hierarchy OpenSearch takes to calculate the aggregations.
