Is it technically feasible to drill down to know disk usage incurred by each field level.

[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-stats.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-stats.html) provides storage cost at the index level 'store'  
I would like to know the storage cost incurred by each of the field.

fielddata provides the runtime memory cost incurred by the field.
