Hey guys, Is there actually a way that elasticsearch can cache some API requests in memory, so that they dont have to be loaded from disk every time? E.g. If you open a ES stored dashboard in Kibana, Kibana is execurting curl syslogserver:9200/\_nodes and after that curl syslogserver:9200/index/\_aliases?ignore-missing. Our "problem" is that these 2 commands may take 5-10 seconds to finish and so the user of kibana are reporting poor performance due to the long loading time of dashboards. On our server we have much more RAM than needed so storing queries/API commands in RAM would be very exciting for us. Thanks for response.
