Hello Elasticsearch gurus, I have Elasticsearch running as a single embedded node inside my web application. I noticed that as soon the index folder size on the disk exceed the size of of the heap size (4GB in my case) the application become unresponsive and soon I got an OutOfMemory error. The elasticsearch.yml has default settings, nothing is change there. Do you have any suggestions how can I configure elasticsearch to get rid of this problem, except the obvious solution to increase the heap size value?

I am using java6 and elasticsearch 1.1.2 version. I am using only 1 shard, and 0 replica. Any ideas?
