Hi Pulkit,

I think some more information about your setup will help people here  
understand your problem better. Here's what I'm curious about:

- what memory settings do you have for Elasticsearch?
- which version are you using?
- how many nodes are you running and what sort of hardware you got?
- what's your number of shards and replicas?
- how does your data and facets look like?
- any clues in the logs? any clues if you monitor your cluster with  
something like BigDesk ([GitHub - lukas-vlcek/bigdesk: Live charts and statistics for Elasticsearch cluster.](https://github.com/lukas-vlcek/bigdesk)) or our  
SPM for Elasticsearch  
([Elasticsearch - Sematext Documentation](http://sematext.com/spm/elasticsearch-performance-monitoring/index.html))

## Best regards, Radu
