I would like to get information about actual state of relocating process of shard. I can get this information about shard according to [docu](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/cat-shards.html):

```
curl -s -X GET "localhost:9201/_cat/shards/my_index" | grep RELOCATING
my_index 0 p RELOCATING 249564135 64.4gb 10.207.46.248 node1 -> 10.206.46.246 Dpj4oyolSF-5PULCvPlJUA node2

```

From documentation, I am not sure what is, in this case, number 249564135. From left side, there is `name of index`, `number of replica/shard`, `primary/replica`, `status`, `unknown number`, `size of shard`, `ip from node1`, `node1 name`, `ip to node`, `id of target`? What other options are available for GET request except `index,shard,prirep,state,unassigned.reason`?

I would like to create a bash script, to monitor this process. So e.g. I will know, that 50% of shard was already copied.

`_cat/recovery` might be more useful.

@warkolm thank you for your help. It is exactly what I need. Do you know, what is the number from my question above?
