filter aggregation is not yet supported in quickwit

Error message

filter aggregation is not yet supported in quickwit

What it means

A `From<TantivyBucketResult>` conversion for Quickwit's BucketResult encountered an aggregation result variant that Quickwit cannot represent — the filter aggregation, which exists in Tantivy's result enum but is not implemented in Quickwit. The conversion itself is generic; the error signals an unsupported aggregation kind rather than malformed data.

Solutions

1. Remove the filter aggregation from the search request and apply filtering via the query itself instead
2. Use a supported bucket aggregation (range, histogram, or terms)

When it happens
