Get follower stats.

==== Description

This API gets follower stats. This API will return shard-level stats about the
following tasks associated with each shard for the specified indices.

==== Path Parmeters
`index` ::
  (string) a comma-delimited list of index patterns

==== Results

This API returns the following information:

`indices`::
  (array) an array of follower index statistics

The `indices` array consists of objects containing two fields:

`indices[].index`::
  (string) the name of the follower index

`indices[].shards`::
  (array) an array of shard-level following task statistics

The `shards` array consists of objects containing the following fields:

`indices[].shards[].remote_cluster`::
  (string) the <modules-remote-clusters,remote cluster>> containing the leader
  index

`indices[].shards[].leader_index`::
  (string) the name of the index in the leader cluster being followed

`indices[].shards[].follower_index`::
  (string) the name of the follower index

`indices[].shards[].shard_id`::
  (integer) the numerical shard ID, with values from 0 to one less than the
  number of replicas

`indices[].shards[].leader_global_checkpoint`::
  (long) the current global checkpoint on the leader known to the follower task

`indices[].shards[].leader_max_seq_no`::
  (long) the current maximum sequence number on the leader known to the follower
  task

`indices[].shards[].follower_global_checkpoint`::
  (long) the current global checkpoint on the follower; the difference between the
  `leader_global_checkpoint` and the `follower_global_checkpoint` is an
  indication of how much the follower is lagging the leader

`indices[].shards[].follower_max_seq_no`::
  (long) the current maximum sequence number on the follower

`indices[].shards[].last_requested_seq_no`::
  (long) the starting sequence number of the last batch of operations requested
  from the leader

`indices[].shards[].outstanding_read_requests`::
  (integer) the number of active read requests from the follower

`indices[].shards[].outstanding_write_requests`::
  (integer) the number of active bulk write requests on the follower

`indices[].shards[].write_buffer_operation_count`::
  (integer) the number of write operations queued on the follower

`indices[].shards[].follower_mapping_version`::
  (long) the mapping version the follower is synced up to

`indices[].shards[].total_read_time_millis`::
  (long) the total time reads were outstanding, measured from the time a read
  was sent to the leader to the time a reply was returned to the follower

`indices[].shards[].total_read_remote_exec_time_millis`::
  (long) the total time reads spent executing on the remote cluster

`indices[].shards[].successful_read_requests`::
  (long) the number of successful fetches

`indices[].shards[].failed_read_requests`::
  (long) the number of failed reads

`indices[].shards[].operations_read`::
  (long) the total number of operations read from the leader

`indices[].shards[].bytes_read`::
  (long) the total of transferred bytes read from the leader (note this is only
  an estimate, and does not account for compression if enabled)

`indices[].shards[].total_write_time_millis`::
  (long) the total time spent writing on the follower

`indices[].shards[].write_buffer_size_in_bytes`::
  (long) the total number of bytes of operations currently queued for writing

`indices[].shards[].successful_write_requests`::
  (long) the number of bulk write requests executed on the follower

`indices[].shards[].failed_write_requests`::
  (long) the number of failed bulk write requests executed on the follower

`indices[].shards[].operations_written`::
  (long) the number of operations written on the follower

`indices[].shards[].read_exceptions`::
  (array) an array of objects representing failed reads

The `read_exceptions` array consists of objects containing the following
fields:

`indices[].shards[].read_exceptions[].from_seq_no`::
  (long) the starting sequence number of the batch requested from the leader

`indices[].shards[].read_exceptions[].retries`::
  (integer) the number of times the batch has been retried

`indices[].shards[].read_exceptions[].exception`::
  (object) represents the exception that caused the read to fail

Continuing with the fields from `shards`:

`indices[].shards[].time_since_last_read_millis`::
  (long) the number of milliseconds since a read request was sent to the leader;
  note that when the follower is caught up to the leader, this number will
  increase up to the configured `read_poll_timeout` at which point another read
  request will be sent to the leader

`indices[].fatal_exception`::
  (object) an object representing a fatal exception that cancelled the following
  task; in this situation, the following task must be resumed manually with the
  <<ccr-post-resume-follow,resume follower API>>
