I'd like modified the default 10% to 20%. So I'd like to ask so. ---

Hi makeyang, the setting `indices.cache.filter.size` is deprecated and you should use `indices.queries.cache.size` with 2.0 and above instead. As you can see in the docs [`indices.queries.cache.size` is static](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.1/query-cache.html). Daniel ---

what is the status for 1.7? ---

Hi makeyang, `indices.cache.filter.size` is a [node-level setting in 1.7](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.7/index-modules-cache.html) and only statically configurable. Daniel ---

thanks. don't get why make it statically. it's hard to evaluate its usage and online modification is really a useful feature. ---

Hi, this is a setting that you shouldn't have to modify really often. Moreover, if we make this a dynamic setting, we'd introduce additional complexity (and the likelihood of bugs increases). This and the fact that this setting is only seldom changed was probably the reason for making this a static setting in the first place. But you're free to create a Github issue though. 🙂 Daniel ---

Hi, what about es1.2.1? Is the indices.cache.filter.size also a static setting? But i have set it by cluster setting, it made sense. Am i doing something wrong? ---

Hi, I am not aware that this has ever been a dynamic setting. Can you paste the specific CURL command you've used to change this setting and the response you've got? Daniel ---

Hi, i have got the dynamic setting in here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.7/cluster-update-settings.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.7/cluster-update-settings.html) and i do like this, then the setting works. curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/\_cluster/settings](http://localhost:9200/_cluster/settings)' -d '{ "transient" : { "indices.cache.filter.size" : "30%" } }' ---

Hi, ah, you're right. I was mistaken regarding 1.7. This works in 1.7.3. But just as a heads-up, if you try to update the corresponding setting `indices.queries.cache.size` with the cluster settings API in Elasticsearch 2.1.1, you'll get an acknowledge back but in the logs you'll find: ```auto [WARN][action.admin.cluster.settings] [Boomer] ignoring transient setting [indices.queries.cache.size], not dynamically updateable ``` Daniel ---
