Currently some charts behave sub-optimal because the data table passed to the chart does not contain empty rows with a
null
value for some empty buckets (no documents). As this is a good use case in some cases, in most cases it causes confusing behavior (like #100301)To unify the existing behavior without breaking backwards compatibility as far as feasible, the following steps have to be completed:
min_doc_count
to false and enables the auto extend option from abovemin_doc_count
setting and also extends the range to the currently selected time range. This last part is not backwards compatible - we are taking away the current setting of keeping empty buckets, but only in between buckets with data. I think this is fine because there's no good use case for this intermediate step.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
