hello team - does anyone know if typesense keeps tracks of the size of a collection? Is it possible to fetch the size via an API call? I searched the API reference but couldn't find one. Can one use the size of the db directory as a rough approximation for this? Thanks!

We only return total memory usage in metrics endpoint. No per collection size.
