Hi,

Is there an API to enumerate the types in and index and indices in a particular cluster ?  
Search in the documentation yielded no better results.

Thanks,  
Ashwin Sathya

Never mind, got it through the \_stats API. Was expecting more of an enumeration specific API. Will work around with this.

Hi,  
the cluster state api contains everything you are looking for, check it  
out: [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/admin-cluster-state/) .
