Hi

Currently I have set index.max\_result\_window = 50000, we are migrating to 5.2.2 , this was working for Elastic Search 2.3.1

I am getting following error on ES 5.2.2:  
QueryPhaseExecutionException[Result window is too large, from + size must be less than or equal to: [10000] but was [24691]. See the scroll api for a more efficient way to request large data sets. This limit can be set by changing the [index.max\_result\_window] index level setting.]

What one should use for production environment for 5.2.2.

Thanks,  
Amit Sinha
