Aggs: filtering values using array of values, including numeric values

[nezda]

In facets, we can filter a Terms Facet using an array of values, including numeric values:

{
    "query" : {
        "match_all" : { }
    },
    "facets" : {
        "tag" : {
            "terms" : {
                "field" : "tag_id",
                "exclude" : [101, 202]
            }
        }
    }
}

This cannot be achieved with the regular expression support in the current exclude syntax as it only support string fields. Some excellent work was done on #6782 to support string terms arrays but this complementary feature for numeric arrays is still missing.

There's a more detailed description in this email thread including a curl gist test case.

Thanks @nezda for pointing this out. I'd thought this was taken care of in #6782, seems odd that it only works for some types.

When will this be released?
