We've been running into periodic issues essentially trying to do a GET on m3\*/\_stats , with the error from ES being:

`elastic: Error 400 (Bad Request): Values less than -1 bytes are not supported: -9223372036826080625b [type=illegal_argument_exception]`

Even the prometheus exporter metric elasticsearch\_indices\_query\_cache\_memory\_size\_bytes is showing memory usage in EiB.

We also have over 6k fields in index, but not sure if fields explosion can cause this.
