Hello,

I am trying to set indices.memory.index\_buffer\_size to 30% using curl to my  
running cluster

And I am not able to make it "stick"  
I am doing this:

$ curl -XPUT [http://foo:9200/\_cluster/settings](http://foo:9200/_cluster/settings) -d '{ "persistent" : {  
"indices.memory.index\_buffer\_size" : "30%" }}'  
{"acknowledged":true,"persistent":{},"transient":{}

But when I check settings it is not there?

Any idea what I am doing wrong??  
It is probably something obvious. But I don't see it...

Thanks,  
-- Chris

$ curl -XGET [http://foo:9200/\_cluster/settings?pretty=true](http://foo:9200/_cluster/settings?pretty=true)  
{  
"persistent" : {  
"threadpool" : {  
"index" : {  
"type" : "cached"  
}  
}  
},  
"transient" : {  
"cluster" : {  
"routing" : {  
"allocation" : {  
"enable" : "all"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}
