Hi, could you please help me to understand following exception?

Cluster configuration:  
3 nodes  
each 6CPU, 32GB RAM, completely on SSD

While making a search request, following exception occours:

`[Invalid response returned from ElasticSearch, Request failed to execute. Call: Status code 429 from: POST /_search/scroll?pretty=true&error_trace=true. ServerError: Type: circuit_breaking_exception Reason: "[parent] <mark>Data too large</mark>, data for [<http_request>] would be [16311134374/15.1gb], which is larger than the limit of [16241183948/15.1gb], real usage: [16311133056/15.1gb], new bytes reserved: [1318/1.2kb], usages [request=0/0b, inflight_requests=352448/344.1kb, model_inference=0/0b, eql_sequence=0/0b, fielddata=88850304/84.7mb]"]`

Hello @uhlirradek95,

Welcome to the community!

This is a circuit breaking exception, to prevent nodes from running out of JVM heap memory.

Pls check this doc for more details: [Circuit breaker errors | Elasticsearch Guide [8.10] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/circuit-breaker-errors.html)
