Is there a way to inspect the size of individual field cache entries?
Given a field cache of 10GB, I would like to be able to determine which
fields of our documents takes up what portions of the field cache.

Hi Kim,
Not sure what ES version you run, but you may try the master version of
ElasticFacets: [GitHub - bleskes/elasticfacets: A set of facets and related tools for ElasticSearch](https://github.com/bleskes/elasticfacets#cache-stats-per-field)
Cheers,
Boaz
