Hi, i'm trying to set FieldData cache size in /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml with no success; this is a log extract: [2014-01-11 13:04:39,890][DEBUG][indices.cache.filter] [Egghead] using [node] weighted filter cache with size [20%], actual\_size [1010.6mb], expire [null], clean\_interval [1m] _[2014-01-11 13:04:39,891][DEBUG][indices.fielddata.cache] [Egghead] using size [-1] [-1b], expire [null]_ [2014-01-11 13:04:39,909][DEBUG][gateway.local.state.meta] [Egghead] using gateway.local.auto\_import\_dangled [YES], with gateway.local.dangling\_timeout [2h] so in IndicesFieldDataCache.java it can't get configured value. Some info: java -version java version "1.7.0\_45" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0\_45-b18) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.45-b08, mixed mode) in elasticsearch.yml: indices.fielddata.cache.size: 5% indices.fielddata.cache.expire : 5m Debian version 7.2, Elasticsearch 0.90.9 I have tried to set % or gb value, to prefix that two lines with "index." ecc... What's wrong? Thank you, Luigi -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
