cat fielddata

edit

fielddata shows how much heap memory is currently being used by fielddata on every data node in the cluster.

GET /_cat/fielddata?v

Looks like:

id                     host      ip        node    field   size
Nqk-6inXQq-OxUfOUI8jNQ 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 Nqk-6in body    544b
Nqk-6inXQq-OxUfOUI8jNQ 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 Nqk-6in soul    480b

Fields can be specified either as a query parameter, or in the URL path:

GET /_cat/fielddata?v&fields=body

Which looks like:

id                     host      ip        node    field   size
Nqk-6inXQq-OxUfOUI8jNQ 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 Nqk-6in body    544b

And it accepts a comma delimited list:

GET /_cat/fielddata/body,soul?v

Which produces the same output as the first snippet:

id                     host      ip        node    field   size
Nqk-6inXQq-OxUfOUI8jNQ 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 Nqk-6in body    544b
Nqk-6inXQq-OxUfOUI8jNQ 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 Nqk-6in soul    480b

The output shows the individual fielddata for the body and soul fields, one row per field per node.
