Hi all I am using elasticsearch 1.2.1 with jetty plugin on ubuntu linux and oracle jdk 1.8.25. The Memory is 12 GB with 4 GB assigned to ES heap. It keeps crashing after indexing about 6 million documents and searching and faceting this data. and here is the error log\hs\_err\_pid6690.log\ ---

The JVM should not crash. That said, could you update to 1.4.1 ? Also, you could give 6gb to the JVM. May be try without any plugin?

Was just trying to help you to find the cause. Not suggesting that you should remove this plugin definitely. 🙂 -- David 😉 Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs > Le 8 déc. 2014 à 11:00, abdo [abdo.a2008@gmail.com](mailto:abdo.a2008@gmail.com) a écrit : > > I am using jetty plugin to have some layer of security. is there any > recommendation regarding the security (for me to be able to decline jetty as > you recommended) > > -- > View this message in context: [http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/elasticsearch-keeps-crashing-tp4067359p4067368.html](http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/elasticsearch-keeps-crashing-tp4067359p4067368.html) > Sent from the Elasticsearch Users mailing list archive at [Nabble.com](http://Nabble.com). > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to [elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com). > To view this discussion on the web visit [https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/elasticsearch/1418032807699-4067368.post%40n3.nabble.com](https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/elasticsearch/1418032807699-4067368.post%40n3.nabble.com). > For more options, visit [https://groups.google.com/d/optout](https://groups.google.com/d/optout). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

You say, it "keeps crashing" Is this exactly reproducible, or does the hs\_err log file show crashes at different "problematic frames"?
