Jim Ferenczi 360ce532eb Implement stats for geo_point and geo_shape field (#22391)
Currently `geo_point` and `geo_shape` field are treated as `text` field by the field stats API and we
try to extract the min/max values with MultiFields.getTerms.
This is ok in master because a `geo_point` field is always a Point field but it can cause problem in 5.x (and 2.x) because the legacy
 `geo_point` are indexed as terms.
 As a result the min and max are extracted and then printed in the FieldStats output using BytesRef.utf8ToString
 which can throw an IndexOutOfBoundException since it's not valid UTF8 strings.
 This change ensure that we never try to extract min/max information from a `geo_point` field.
 It does not add a new type for geo points in the fieldstats API so we'll continue to use `text` for this kind of field.
 This PR is targeted to master even though we could only commit this change to 5.x. I think it's cleaner to have it in master too before we make any decision on
  https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/21947.

Elasticsearch REST API JSON specification

This repository contains a collection of JSON files which describe the Elasticsearch HTTP API.

Their purpose is to formalize and standardize the API, to facilitate development of libraries and integrations.

Example for the "Create Index" API:

{
  "indices.create": {
    "documentation": "http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/indices-create-index.html",
    "methods": ["PUT", "POST"],
    "url": {
      "path": "/{index}",
      "paths": ["/{index}"],
      "parts": {
        "index": {
          "type" : "string",
          "required" : true,
          "description" : "The name of the index"
        }
      },
      "params": {
        "timeout": {
          "type" : "time",
          "description" : "Explicit operation timeout"
        }
      }
    },
    "body": {
      "description" : "The configuration for the index (`settings` and `mappings`)"
    }
  }
}

The specification contains:

  • The name of the API (indices.create), which usually corresponds to the client calls
  • Link to the documentation at http://elastic.co
  • List of HTTP methods for the endpoint
  • URL specification: path, parts, parameters
  • Whether body is allowed for the endpoint or not and its description

The methods and url.paths elements list all possible HTTP methods and URLs for the endpoint; it is the responsibility of the developer to use this information for a sensible API on the target platform.
