bulkSize = XContentMapValues.nodeIntegerValue(indexSettings.get("bulk\_size\_bytes"), 10_1024_1024); So if I input 10485760 as bulk size bytes ,the final bulk size would be 1? I don't know what exactly this function "nodeIntegerValue" do Plz help -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
