Great question. I do not think there is an API to get that data (someone
please correct me if I am wrong), but since the type is basically just
another field inside the Lucene document, you can also run a
aggregation/facet on the implicit field called _type:

{
"size": 0,
"query": {"match_all": {}},
"aggs" : {
"types" : {
"terms" : { "field" : "_type" }
}
}
}

Cheers,

Ivan

I believe http://localhost:9200/index/_mapping will give you types.

It is an indirect method for sure, but that kind of metadata is going to be in memory and not require fielddata cache.

Thanks, I guess this may be the perfect solution.

I knew there had to be a simpler solution! Missed the extremely obvious.
