I'm seeing _bulk_ with high number, I'm not really sure what it mean and how to deal with it:

```
X2 bulk 6 0 22511
X2 fetch_shard_started 0 0 0
X2 fetch_shard_store 0 0 0
X2 flush 0 0 0
X2 force_merge 0 0 0
X2 generic 0 0 0
X2 get 0 0 0
X2 index 0 0 0
X2 listener 0 0 0
X2 management 1 0 0
X2 refresh 0 0 0
X2 search 0 0 0
X2 snapshot 0 0 0
X2 warmer 0 0 0
X1 bulk 8 0 0
X1 fetch_shard_started 0 0 0
X1 fetch_shard_store 0 0 0
X1 flush 0 0 0
X1 force_merge 0 0 0
X1 generic 0 0 0
X1 get 0 0 0
X1 index 0 0 0
X1 listener 0 0 0
X1 management 1 0 0
X1 refresh 0 0 0
X1 search 0 0 0
X1 snapshot 0 0 0
X1 warmer 0 0 0

```

Please advise.

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.4/cat-thread-pool.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.4/cat-thread-pool.html) explains what each column is, you can also use `?v` on the end of the request to show what each column name is.

Basically it looks like that node has rejected a large number of bulk requests.
