Can someone explain what metafield does `storedFields("_none")` return? As per the javadoc

> Adds stored fields to load and return (note, it must be stored) as part of the search request.  
> To disable the stored fields entirely (source and metadata fields) use {@code storedField("_none_")}.

But whenever I am sending a request like below

```
SearchRequestBuilder request;
...
request.setSize(config.getScanScrollFetchSize());
request.addSort(FieldSortBuilder.DOC_FIELD_NAME, SortOrder.ASC);
request.setScroll(TimeValue.timeValueMinutes(1));
request.storedFields("_none_");

```

It is giving me the response like below

```
{
  "_scroll_id": "DnF1ZXJ5VGhlbkZldGNoBQAAAAAAAAABFjMtc3Y1Rm5PU2pDVi1RM29FVzQyQmcAAAAAAAAAAxYzLXN2NUZuT1NqQ1YtUTNvRVc0MkJnAAAAAAAAAAIWMy1zdjVGbk9TakNWLVEzb0VXNDJCZwAAAAAAAAAEFjMtc3Y1Rm5PU2pDVi1RM29FVzQyQmcAAAAAAAAABRYzLXN2NUZuT1NqQ1YtUTNvRVc0MkJn",
  "took": 126,
  "timed_out": false,
  "_shards": {
    "total": 5,
    "successful": 5,
    "skipped": 0,
    "failed": 0
  },
  "hits": {
    "total": 1,
    "max_score": null,
    "hits": [
      {
        "_index": "denorm",
        "_score": null,
        "sort": [
          2
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

```

As per the [doc](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.6/mapping-fields.html) `_index` is also a meta field but I am seeing this in the response.

Can someone let me know what all meta fields are returned when I use `storedField("_none_")` ?

The same has been asked in [stackoverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58048816/what-metafields-does-storedfields-none-return-in-elasticsearch) also. But no response there also. Anyone any thoughts on this?
