ESQL: Protection against accidentally loading big fields #109986

Open nik9000 opened 1 month ago

nik9000 commented 1 month ago

Description

ESQL defaults to loading all fields when you do stuff like FROM idx or FROM idx | DROP specific_field. Some fields are very big and would blow out the wire - dense_vector is a good example of a field type that's just a huge amount of data and you rarely want to look at it. It's important that you can fetch it, but maybe not without asking.
