Hi, I do concurrent bulk requests (inserting) in 20 threads. When I look at threads all of them waiting in: ![jobs](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/7/a757f3d3d6dd81bac3975af20f567d9bab1d6724.png) ![job](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/c/9c15a6ee8ee44356828e5ca697f2abf376084e4d.png) Can I somehow speedup this process? ---

How did you get this report? (just curious). ---

That does not look like the name of bulk threads used in Elasticsearch. ---

I named my threads which are responsible for bulk requests. But, all of them are in WAITING state in `org.elasticsearch.common,util.concurrent.BaseFuture$Sync.get` Of course, finally the requests are done without any exception, but to compare with an older version (1.7.1), the bulk process takes much more time in the newest version. I run this tasks in 20 threads, I know that queue size for the bulk request is 200. Do you know how to speed up this process (I do all steps from [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.2/tune-for-indexing-speed.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.2/tune-for-indexing-speed.html))? ---

I run my tasks in my own thread pull. I run VisualVM and I look on threads, why this indexing process takes too much time. I see that all of my bulk threads are in WAITING state, looks like problem with asynchronus tasks. ---

So this is client side then. These threads are waiting on a reply from the server. You need to see why the server is taking so long to reply, maybe you're overwhelming it. ---

Ho, this is not from elasticsearch so? Check the thread\_pool to see what thread are doing (/\_cat/thread\_pool?v&human) If I am right, for indexing 1 thread can take care of 1 primary shard. ---
