Cluster node stats API under `/_nodes/stats` can provide an info about source/target hosts in recovery process.

While `source` stat seems to be populated properly, the stat for target `nodes.$node.indices.recovery.current_as_target` is always showing 0 no matter how many recoveries/relocations/initializations are happening on/to said host.

Is this broken or I misunderstand meaning of this stat?
