@sandeshkr419 Thanks for creating this RFC - could you see about adding more details to the description for how/when you'd action on these ideals or close out this issue?

Hey @sandeshkr419 I have this issue I created a while back related to significant terms performance for concurrent segment search

• [Concurrent Segment Search] Optimize Significant Terms Agg to not perform count query for each segment slice #8789

I believe the problem described is unique to the concurrent search flow but I figured it was worth sharing anyways!
