Hi,
We're having problems with some nodes hitting the maximum heap size and
were looking into ways to get visibility into the field cache impact of
different indexes/shards.
Any suggestions?

For instance I think I remember some plugin that would give you an idea how
big an impact a facet might have on your field cache, and I think that was
suppose to become part of Elasticsearch itself, but I may be dreaming.

This has something like what I'd like to find in the Cache stats per field
section [GitHub - bleskes/elasticfacets: A set of facets and related tools for ElasticSearch](https://github.com/bleskes/elasticfacets) , but I'm unsure if it's
any good for 1.x
