Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I currently store documents with a version field in Quickwit. When I need to retrieve the latest version of documents in a query I have to use a bucket aggregation to get the ids and latest versions. Then query for these separately. This isn't very efficient.

Describe the solution you'd like
Ideally add Elasticsearch style collapse https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/elasticsearch/rest-apis/collapse-search-results.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Allow pagination of aggregation although this wouldn't be as efficient as collapse. https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/aggregations/search-aggregations-bucket-composite-aggregation
