Displaying Paginated List of Distinct Cities from Documents
TLDR gab was struggling to paginate a list of distinct cities in documents. Kishore Nallan suggested to use the group_by command, and adjusting group_limit to display only a single document per city.

10:22 AMI have documents with a "city" facet field.
I would like to display paginated list of cities.
How could I browse all cities ? (page 1: 20 groups, page 2: 20 groups, etc)
Also I don't want hits for each groups.
I also tried with
facet_by but it doesn't seem to be the proper way of doing it.

10:29 AM• I wonder if I'm browsing groups or documents using per_page/page
• Also I cannot remove hits from results. I tried with limit_hits:0 (Also with "group_limit":1)

"per_page": 20,
"page":"1",
"group_by": "city",
