Summarize data with aggregation queries

Summarize data with aggregation queries

An aggregation query processes the data from multiple index entries to return a single summary value.

Firestore supports the following aggregation queries:

• count()
• sum()
• average()

Firestore calculates the aggregation and transmits only the result back to your application. Compared to executing a full query and calculating the aggregation in your app, aggregation queries save on both billed document reads and bytes transferred.

Aggregation queries rely on the existing index configuration that your queries already use, and scale proportionally to the number of index entries scanned. Latency increases with the number of items in the aggregation.

Note: While the code samples cover multiple languages, the text explaining the samples refers to the Web method names.

Use the count() aggregation

The count() aggregation query lets you determine the number of documents in a collection or query.

For more information about the example data, see Getting data.

The following count() aggregation returns the total number of cities in the cities collection.

Calculate multiple aggregations in a query

You can combine multiple aggregations in a single aggregation pipeline. This can reduce the number of index reads required. If the query includes aggregations on multiple fields, the query might requires a composite index. In that case, Firestore suggests an index.

The following example performs multiple aggregations in a single aggregation query:

Queries with multiple aggregations include only the documents that contain all the fields in each aggregation. This might lead to different results from performing each aggregation separately.

Security rules for aggregation queries

Firestore Security Rules work the same on aggregation queries as on queries that return documents. In other words, if and only if your rules allow clients to execute certain collection or collection group queries, clients can also perform the aggregation on those queries. Learn more about how Firestore Security Rules interact with queries.

Behavior and limitations

As you work with aggregation queries, note the following behavior and limitations:

• You can't use aggregation queries with real-time listeners and offline queries. Aggregation queries are only supported through a direct server response. Queries are served only by the Firestore backend, skipping the local cache and any buffered updates. This behavior is identical to operations that are performed insideFirestore transactions.

• If an aggregation can't resolve within 60 seconds, it returns a DEADLINE_EXCEEDED error. Performance depends on your index configuration and on the size of the dataset.

  Note: Most queries scale based on the on the size of the result set, not the dataset. However, aggregation queries scale based on the size of the dataset and the number of index entries scanned.

  If the operation can't be completed within the 60 second deadline, a possible workaround is to use counters for large datasets.

• Aggregation queries read from index entries and include only indexed fields.

• Adding an OrderBy clause to an aggregation query limits the aggregation to the documents where the sorting field exists.

• For sum() and average() aggregations, non-numeric values are ignored. sum() and average() aggregations take into account only integer values and floating-point number values.

• When combining multiple aggregations in a single query, note that sum() and average() ignore non-numeric values while count() includes non-numeric values.

• If you combine aggregations that are on different fields, the calculation includes only the documents that contain all those fields.

Pricing

Pricing for aggregation queries depends on the number of index entries that the query matches. You are charged a small number of reads for a large number of matched entries. You are charged one read operation for each batch of up to 1000 index entries read.

For more information about aggregation queries pricing, see Aggregation queries.
