Why not simply doing what cat does behind the scene?
For example: [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/rest/action/cat/RestHealthAction.java#L54-L61](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/rest/action/cat/RestHealthAction.java#L54-L61)
