Build a report page based on the index statistics collected for the search

Problem/Motivation

Elasticsearch provides an Index Statistics API to expose some low-level information about the index (e.g.: the number of documents, index size, number of shards, number of items, time spent indexing, number of search queries, number of merges, number of segments, operations in the transaction log, etc.).

This data could be useful for debugging performance issues, among other things.

Proposed resolution

Add a report page/pages to display the index statistics.

Remaining tasks

  1. Determine what statistics to display
    • If you need some/all of these statistics, please let us know which are the most helpful. I think it would be wise to start small and let the community suggest new statistics in follow-up issues.
  2. Write a patch
  3. Review and feedback
  4. RTBC and feedback
  5. Commit
  6. Release
