Log Context

Log “key [{}]; doc_count [{}]” classname is histogram-aggregation.asciidoc.
We extracted the following from Elasticsearch source code for those seeking an in-depth context :

 // For each entry
for (Histogram.Bucket entry : agg.getBuckets()) {
    Long key = (Long) entry.getKey();       // Key
    long docCount = entry.getDocCount();    // Doc count

    logger.info("key [{}]; doc_count [{}]"; key; docCount);
}
