What's the fastest manner to retrieve min timestamp from Elasticsearch indices?





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

In my opinion, there are two ways to implement it.
But I don't know which is faster, because I don't have much data to test.



Like SQL below:



SELECT min(occur_time) FROM event_*
SELECT occur_time FROM event_* order by occur_time limit 1

          You can run a query, with size:1, sorted by @timestamp ascending, and even include_fields:@timestamp in order to fetch back only the minimum timestamp field:



          {
          "size":1,
          "sort": [{"@timestamp":"asc"}],
          "_source": {
          "includes": [ "@timestamp" ]
          }
          }
