Hi,  
We've recently started using elasticsearch(V-1.5) on one of our app &  
started facing following issues..

- Generating Logs ( Exceptionally very high viz.. 5 min 5GB log )

- High CPU Utilization

- In-spite of deleting logs, disk space was not released. Needed Hard  
boot the server to release the logs space.

**System Configuration**

OS - Linux 14.04 LTS 64bit Ubuntu.

vCPU - 2 Core

vRAM - 8 GB

Disk Space - 100 GB

Don't know what's going wrong. Any clue...
