What is a key difference between the stats and transaction commands?

stats is used for time-based grouping, while transaction is used for field-based grouping

stats groups events into a single event, while transaction calculates statistics

stats aggregates events into statistical results, while transaction groups events into a single event

stats can only be used with numeric fields, while transaction can be used with any field

In the transaction command, what does the 'closed' field indicate?

The transaction has both a start and an end event

The transaction has only a start event but no end event

The transaction has exceeded the maxspan time limit

The transaction has been deleted from the index

In the transaction command, what does the maxspan option control?

The maximum number of transactions that can be created

The maximum time difference allowed between the first and last event in a transaction

The maximum number of events that can be included in a transaction

The maximum number of fields that can be used to group events

How can the transaction command be used as an alternative to coalesce?
