Hi,
I'd like to understand which field caches in which indexes are consuming
the most memory in order to ensure that I have even sharding/balancing. The
node stats will tell me how much field cache a node has, but I can't find
anything finer grained than that. Are these stats available anywhere?
Thanks!
Paul
