Elasticsearch merge slowness

Yesterday i thought there was with my small vm (2gb ram, 2gb disk) and a
million items in my es database, So I started dropping types in the same
index, in the end dropped 70k types and did not solve the issue (something
else was the issue), none the less elasticsearch paid me a visit with
merging documents i deleted out. This took over 12 hours and it was doing
it in bulk and when it did them CPU went up for a while 1-5 minutes. Is
this suppopse to happen or is merge suppose to be a little more gentail.

Hello,

I guess merging can be painfull if it's caused by massive deletes on a
small vm, because you can get up to 30 going on at the same time, if my
understanding is correct (index.merge.policy.max_merge_at_once_explicit is
30 by default).

You should be able to make it more gentle by reducing that number though
from the index settingshttp://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/admin-indices-update-settings/
.

Also, if your CPU load is caused by I/O waits, store
throttlinghttp://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/index-modules/store/might
also help.

Best regards,
Radu

Okay so I will look at lowering that number to something resonable for the
size of my vm. Also the link to store throttling is very intresting and i
am going to try that out. The goal is to have indexes by date and alias
them but for dev i am just storing everything in the same one until i write
the code to handle that.
