 === Field statistics
 
 The field stats api is supported on string based, number based and date based fields and can return the following statistics per field:
 
-* `max_doc`             - The total number of documents.
-* `doc_count`           - The number of documents that have at least one term for this field, or -1 if this measurement isn't available on one or more shards.
-* `density`             - The percentage of documents that have at least one value for this field. This is a derived statistic and is based on the `max_doc` and `doc_count`.
-* `sum_doc_freq`        - The sum of each term's document frequency in this field, or -1 if this measurement isn't available on one or more shards.
-                          Document frequency is the number of documents containing a particular term.
-* `sum_total_term_freq` - The sum of the term frequencies of all terms in this field across all documents, or -1 if this measurement isn't available on one or more shards.
-                          Term frequency is the total number of occurrences of a term in a particular document and field.
-* `min_value`           - The lowest value in the field represented in a displayable form.
-* `max_value`           - The highest value in the field represented in a displayable form.
