How to udpate the thread pool size for elasticsearch in elastic cloud4

```auto
{
    "persistent" : {
        "thread_pool.write.queue_size" : 1000
    }
}

```

Above Put call is resulting in a failure

```auto
{
    "error": {
        "root_cause": [
            {
                "type": "illegal_argument_exception",
                "reason": "persistent setting [thread_pool.write.queue_size], not dynamically updateable"
            }
        ],
        "type": "illegal_argument_exception",
        "reason": "persistent setting [thread_pool.write.queue_size], not dynamically updateable"
    },
    "status": 400
}

```

Did you try it as a dynamic setting?
