Display nested field in the fieldDistribution object on /stats

[Karman40]

DEMO DATA:

{
  field1: string
  field2: string
  nestedField: {
    innerField1: string
    innerField2: string
    ...
  }
  ...
}

GET /indexes/{index_uid}/stats, the response includes the following fields in the fieldDistribution: field1, field2, nestedField
In this case, the nested fields are not included in the statistics.

It would be nice if it could work somehow as follows:
field1, field2, nestedField, nestedField.innerField1, nestedField.innerField2

First of all, this is a great help in the settings page, because i don't need to remember the scheme of which fields and which route they are accessible, but i could just check in a select, for example, what i want to make searchable.

In my oppinien this as a separate API endpoint.

Hello @Karman40 👋

Indeed, I think you are right. It should represent the field distribution exhaustively.

I've added that to our pipeline, but I can't give you an ETA yet. I will reach you when it's planned.

Thank you!
