Hi there,  
How can find documentations for explanation of json data returned by \_stats  
for index. I mean meaning of each fields not just high level description.  
Specifically, For the following data

"primaries": {"docs": {"count": 1789457,"deleted": 0},"store": {"  
size\_in\_bytes": 2085533463,"throttle\_time\_in\_millis": 582538},"indexing": {"  
index\_total": 297925,"index\_time\_in\_millis": 113345,"index\_current": 0,"  
delete\_total": 0,"delete\_time\_in\_millis": 0,"delete\_current": 0},

I can't find out meaning of index\_total field. and index\_current field. for  
this index the document count is 1789457 which is about 3 times of the  
index\_total value.

Thanks,  
Jack
