What index.cache.field.max_size in practice means?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello,

I`m not so familiar with lucene index data structure, i read in the
documentation that it is max size (count, not byte size) of the cache (per
search segment in a shard)
I would like to ask this in a real live usage what means?
If i have an index with routing implemented and on a shard I have 1M
documents, a query with 7 facets, it returns 10k documents, then in worst
case cenario all the 10k document is saved in the same lucene segment then
the index.cache.field.max_size sould be 10kX7 ?

Thank U.
