Usage of aggregate functions in MarkLogic - aggregate-functions

Question

I have an XML like this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<doc>
<ticker> CSGN.VX </ticker>
<stockExchange> NYSE </stockExchange>
<stockDatas>
<stockData>
<date>2015-08-06</date>
<closingPrice>140</closingPrice>
</stockData>
<stockData>
<date>2015-08-07</date>
<closingPrice>140.25</closingPrice>
</stockData>
<stockData>
<date>2015-08-10</date>
<closingPrice>140.75</closingPrice>
</stockData>
</stockDatas>
</doc>
And I will be having similar XMLs for different companies around different years. Now I want to search for documents which have the ticker as CSGN.VX for a particular time duration, so I use this query.
xquery version "1.0-ml";
import module namespace search = "http://marklogic.com/appservices/search" at "/MarkLogic/appservices/search/search.xqy";
search:search(
'ticker:CSGN.VX AND (dateRange GE "2015-08-07" AND dateRange LE "2015-08-21")',
<options xmlns="http://marklogic.com/appservices/search">
<constraint name="dateRange">
<range type="xs:date" facet="false">
<element ns="" name="date"/>
</range>
</constraint>
<constraint name="ticker">
<range type="xs:string" >
<element ns="" name="ticker"/>
</range>
</constraint>
</options>)
Is there a way where along with the document search, I can also get the closingPrice average for that particular time duration?
I just got a solution but i have a further query, i was looking for a way to implement this using java client API of Marklogic so is there a way to implement search:parse and search:values using Java Client API
I know one way to implement this is through MarklogicXCC API but i wanted to know if there is a way through which these functions can be run using Client API

Provided you have a range index on closingPrice you should be able to do something like this:
xquery version "1.0-ml";
import module namespace search = "http://marklogic.com/appservices/search"at "/MarkLogic/appservices/search/search.xqy";
let $query :=
search:parse(
'ticker:CSGN.VX AND (dateRange GE "2015-08-07" AND dateRange LE "2015-08-21")',
<options xmlns="http://marklogic.com/appservices/search">
<constraint name="dateRange">
<range type="xs:date" facet="false">
<element ns="" name="date"/>
</range>
</constraint>
<constraint name="ticker">
<range type="xs:string" >
<element ns="" name="ticker"/>
</range>
</constraint>
</options>,
"search:query"
)
return
search:values(
'closingPrice',
<options xmlns="http://marklogic.com/appservices/search">
<values name="closingPrice">
<range type="xs:double">
<element ns="" name="closingPrice"/>
</range>
<aggregate apply="avg"/>
</values>
</options>,
$query
)
Note: I do recommend storing each stockData separately, otherwise the dateRange filter probably won't work as expected.
HTH!
