Hi, I'm using elasticsearch 1.4.1, with extensive use of doc-values. Checking the stats, I have a feeling that there is a large overhead in disc space - compared to the raw indexed docs size. My questions are: 1. is there a way to tell how much disc space is used by the doc-values? I didn't find anything in the \_stats API. 2. is there an 'official' value in percentage of doc-value overhead? Thanks!
