What is the difference between sqto and sfto. I assume sqto is search query operation per shard and sfto is fetching source of the document once we have document ids from search query operations. I cannot find anything in the reference to confirm my assumptions. Thanks

Difference between sqto and sfto

Hi warkolm
I have read the links but could not comprehend if

searchFetchTotal = Number of fetch operation
Does it mean operation per shard or per segment on the node

searchQueryTotal = Number of query operations
Does it mean source of a document is fetched from the node

Thank you
