When I run /\_nodes/stats I see:

```
            "refresh": {
                "threads": 1,
                "queue": 89495,
                "active": 1,
                "rejected": 0,
                "largest": 1,
                "completed": 685334
            },

```

and

```
            "bulk": {
                "threads": 2,
                "queue": 218,
                "active": 2,
                "rejected": 0,
                "largest": 2,
                "completed": 6
            },

```

I'd just increased the queue size to 500 and it cleared out completely. But now it's just stuck at 6 completed and nothing processes. Is there a way for me to see what it's working on and hopefully why it's stuck?

This is an AWS hosted Elasticsearch version 1.5. Cluster health shows:

```
{
    "cluster_name": "546950514302:trevcob2b",
    "status": "yellow",
    "timed_out": false,
    "number_of_nodes": 2,
    "number_of_data_nodes": 2,
    "active_primary_shards": 169,
    "active_shards": 337,
    "relocating_shards": 0,
    "initializing_shards": 1,
    "unassigned_shards": 0,
    "number_of_pending_tasks": 0
}
```
