my setting in elasticsearch.yml about bulk thread pool is below:  
threadpool.bulk.type: fixed  
threadpool.bulk.size: 4  
threadpool.bulk.queue\_size: 10  
threadpool.bulk.reject\_policy: caller

but when server running and I checked it with /\_cat/thread\_pool?v, bulk.queue is over 100. dose I misunderstand the threadpool.bulk.queue\_size setting?
