I have indexed about 10k docs indexed on a data node

**Case A.** I have about 140 fields in my document, all analyzed (index: true). Did a \_forcemerge.  
/\_cluster/stats API returns "terms\_memory\_in\_bytes: 'x' bytes"

**Case B** I have same 140 fields in my document, and the same number of documents used above. But this time none of the fields are not analyzed (index: false). Did a \_forcemerge.  
/\_cluster/stats API returns "terms\_memory\_in\_bytes: 'x' bytes"

**Query:**  
I expect no terms to be generated after i make index:false, hence the "terms\_memory\_in\_bytes" should show a very very low size that it is occupying in the memory. Any reasons that i am missing here ?
