Hi All, I want to find out where will the default settings be stored in elasticsearch. For eg., a config setting like 'script.disable\_dynamic' is set to false by default. But where and how does the node during set up or later know about the default setting if that setting is not changed using elasticsearch.yml. Please let me know in case anybody has some clue about this -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

The only way to find the default is to search inside the code. If you do not have the source locally, you can always search the project on Github (which uses Elasticsearch BTW). The properties are organized by module, so you normally can just go to the corresponding module/service class without needing to search. For example, here is the script.disable\_dynamic setting: [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/script/ScriptService.java#L78](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/script/ScriptService.java#L78) -- Ivan On Tue, Apr 22, 2014 at 7:15 PM, Jayasimha m.l [jayasimha.m.l@gmail.com](mailto:jayasimha.m.l@gmail.com)wrote: > Hi All, > > I want to find out where will the default settings be stored in > elasticsearch.
