Hi all,

I have been using Elasticsearch with multiple node setup from last 2 years, but currently all of sudden , got below exception of circuit\_breaking\_exception .  
\<  
{"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"circuit\_breaking\_exception","reason":"[parent] Data too large, data for [\<http\_request\>] would be [4101763462/3.8gb], which is larger than the limit of [4080218931/3.7gb], real usage: [4099648288/3.8gb], new bytes reserved: [2115174/2mb], usages [request=0/0b, fielddata=0/0b, in\_flight\_requests=2115174/2mb, accounting=25208/24.6kb]","bytes\_wanted":4101763462,"bytes\_limit":4080218931,"durability":"TRANSIENT"}

Welcome to our community! 😃

What is the output from the `_cluster/stats?pretty&human` API?

7.7 is [EOL](https://www.elastic.co/support/eol) and you should really upgrade ASAP. That would be the first thing to do.

Hello @Rajesh_Sahu

The data that you are trying to ingest is 4GB but your node can handle only upto 3.7GB  
Hence please increase the resource to fix this issue.

Keep Posted!!! Thanks !!!
