It seems to me that ES ignores the index.query.bool.max\_clause\_count argument in elasticsearch.yml Setting index.query.bool.max\_clause\_count: 5000 results in the following error: Caused by: org.apache.lucene.search.BooleanQuery$TooManyClauses: maxClauseCount is set to 1024 Any solution whats going wrong here? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
