Nik, Sorry for the confusion. The recovery API is meant to show the most recent recovery for each shard, as well as active recoveries. I'll see if we can improve the documentation around this.
To see only active, on-going recoveries, use the active_only flag. For example: curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/_cat/recovery?active_only=true&v'. Additionally, it's possible to get file-level recovery detail by using the JSON version of the recovery API [1]. Try hitting this in your browser: http://localhost:9200/_recovery?pretty=true&human=true&detailed=true&active_only=true.
