Hello, {"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"circuit\_breaking\_exception","reason":"[parent] Data too large, data for [\] would be [1740972440/1.6gb], which is larger than the limit of [1491035750/1.3gb]","bytes\_wanted":1740972440,"bytes\_limit":1491035750}],"type":"circuit\_breaking\_exception","reason":"[parent] Data too large, data for [\] would be [1740972440/1.6gb], which is larger than the limit of [1491035750/1.3gb]","bytes\_wanted":1740972440,"bytes\_limit":1491035750},"status":503} I cannot update my cluster, upgrade or do anything. I can only contact the support by email with a 3 days SLA. Any idea on how to get around this issue ? Thank you ---

If you have an error message like this one, that does not mean that your cluster is down. Just that some queries can not be served because of the memory pressure. What gives `GET _cat/health?v` and `GET _cat/indices?v`? May you are using parent/child? May be you are not using doc\_values? > I can only contact the support by email with a 3 days SLA. If you have support, please go for it. That's the best way to handle your case. Is it a cloud instance? ---

Every query returns : ``` { "error" : { "root_cause" : [ { "type" : "circuit_breaking_exception", "reason" : "[parent] Data too large, data for [] would be [1740972440/1.6gb], which is larger than the limit of [1491035750/1.3gb]", "bytes_wanted" : 1740972440, "bytes_limit" : 1491035750 } ], "type" : "circuit_breaking_exception", "reason" : "[parent] Data too large, data for [] would be [1740972440/1.6gb], which is larger than the limit of [1491035750/1.3gb]", "bytes_wanted" : 1740972440, "bytes_limit" : 1491035750 }, "status" : 503 } { "cluster_name" : "xxxxx", "status" : "yellow", "timed_out" : false, "number_of_nodes" : 1, "number_of_data_nodes" : 1, "active_primary_shards" : 255, "active_shards" : 255, "relocating_shards" : 0, "initializing_shards" : 0, "unassigned_shards" : 254, "delayed_unassigned_shards" : 0, "number_of_pending_tasks" : 0, "number_of_in_flight_fetch" : 0, "task_max_waiting_in_queue_millis" : 0, "active_shards_percent_as_number" : 50.09823182711198 } ``` It is a cloud instance hosted by [elastic.co](http://elastic.co).

What gives: ```auto GET _cat/indices?v GET _cat/nodes?v ``` and ```auto GET _search ``` Please format your code using `` icon as explained in [this guide](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21) and not the citation button. It will make your post more readable. Or use markdown style like: ```` ``` CODE ``` ```` Please edit your post. ---

Hello, Sorry, for the posting guidelines, it should be better now/ ``` GET /_cat/indices?v GET /_cat/nodes?v GET /_search {"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"circuit_breaking_exception","reason":"[parent] Data too large, data for [] would be [1740972440/1.6gb], which is larger than the limit of [1491035750/1.3gb]","bytes_wanted":1740972440,"bytes_limit":1491035750}],"type":"circuit_breaking_exception","reason":"[parent] Data too large, data for [] would be [1740972440/1.6gb], which is larger than the limit of [1491035750/1.3gb]","bytes_wanted":1740972440,"bytes_limit":1491035750},"status":503} ``` It all returns the same message ---
