Suddenly am getting this Error in Elasticsearch:

org.elasticsearch.ElasticsearchException: Trying to create too many scroll contexts. Must be less than or equal to: [500]. This limit can be set by changing the [search.max\_open\_scroll\_context] setting.

Kindly anyone give the proper solution.

Thanks in Advance

What are you doing?

Are you running many extractions in parallel ?
