+* Index Stats, Node Stats and Cluster Stats API can return a null pointer exception if an index contains a `dense_vector` field
 but there is an index segment that does not contain any documents with a dense vector field ({es-pull}112720[#112720]). Workarounds:
 ** If the affected index already contains documents with a dense vector field, force merge the index to a single segment.
 ** If the affected index does not already contain documents with a dense vector field, index a document with a dense vector field
 and then force merge to a single segment.
 ** If the affected index's `dense_vector` fields are unused, reindex without the `dense_vector` fields.
