Hi Experts ,

I have an index , after firing `GET /_cat/indices/?v` I am getting below

```
health status index pri rep docs.count docs.deleted store.size pri.store.size 
green open cefv1 5 1 111968469 0 1.2tb 636.1gb 

```

So I have two sizes 1) Store size and another is pri.store size . I am bit confused with both the terms , can someone suggest what is actual size , is it 1.2tb or 636.1gb ?

Regards  
VG

`pre.store.size` is the size of the primary shard only. `store.size` is the total index size across the cluster, including replicas, and since you have 1 replica configured, it is twice the size of the primary shard.
