Hi Folks,

In Es i am seeing the field query\_total which is query\_total is the  
total number of queries across all lucene instances of a node. So i am having two indices having same number of documents indexed but query total count and size of the index is also different

I wanted to ask if query total number affects the total size of the index and if yes how it would be affecting it.
