Elasticsearch settings for indexing

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

hi. What are the correct settings of jvm.options and elasticsearch.yml for big data indexing in one sitting? I've got 32G memory and 8 cores. 1 core is used for 100%. In jvm.options settings I have:
Xms20g
-Xmx20g
but indexing speed doesn't increase. What is the problem? How to set everything correctly? Maybe some settings are missing?

jvm.options

    ## JVM configuration

################################################################
## IMPORTANT: JVM heap size
################################################################
##
## You should always set the min and max JVM heap
## size to the same value. For example, to set
## the heap to 4 GB, set:
##
## -Xms4g
## -Xmx4g
##
## See https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/heap-size.html
## for more information
##
################################################################

# Xms represents the initial size of total heap space
# Xmx represents the maximum size of total heap space

-Xms15g
-Xmx15g

## optimizations

# pre-touch memory pages used by the JVM during initialization
-XX:+AlwaysPreTouch

## basic

# force the server VM
-server

# explicitly set the stack size
-Xss1m

# set to headless, just in case
-Djava.awt.headless=true

# ensure UTF-8 encoding by default (e.g. filenames)

## heap dumps

# generate a heap dump when an allocation from the Java heap fails
# heap dumps are created in the working directory of the JVM

# specify an alternative path for heap dumps
# ensure the directory exists and has sufficient space
-XX:HeapDumpPath=/var/lib/elasticsearch

## GC logging

#-XX:+PrintGCDetails

#-XX:+PrintGCDateStamps
#-XX:+PrintClassHistogram
#-XX:+PrintTenuringDistribution

# By default, the GC log file will not rotate.
# By uncommenting the lines below, the GC log file
# will be rotated every 128MB at most 32 times.
