Hello , I am doing lots of bulk insert in hundreds of millions of feeds. But then , index merge is coming in the way at times. Is there anyway to disable the merge until i complete the bulk loading process ? Thanks Vineeth -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hey Vineeth, Don't think so. But you can play with flush and merge throttle params. ## Otis Performance Monitoring \* Log Analytics \* Search Analytics Solr & Elasticsearch Support \* [http://sematext.com/](http://sematext.com/) On Tuesday, March 25, 2014 11:04:05 AM UTC-4, vineeth mohan wrote: > Hello , > > I am doing lots of bulk insert in hundreds of millions of feeds. > But then , index merge is coming in the way at times. > Is there anyway to disable the merge until i complete the bulk loading > process ? > > Thanks > Vineeth -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Especially lowering the max\_merge\_at\_once value or the number of segments. Querying will be affected if you change the settings. -- Ivan On Tue, Mar 25, 2014 at 8:42 AM, Otis Gospodnetic \< [otis.gospodnetic@gmail.com](mailto:otis.gospodnetic@gmail.com)\> wrote: > Hey Vineeth, > > Don't think so.
