Hello there,
I've recently gotten the cluster up and running via ECK. in order to increase performance, I have allocated 3 nodes, each on an n1-highmem-2 instance. I have also increased the memory limit. I am now seeing a ton of garbage collection logs in ES. Here is my elastic service yaml:
apiVersion: elasticsearch.k8s.elastic.co/v1alpha1
kind: Elasticsearch
metadata:
name: quickstart
spec:
version: 7.1.0
nodes:
- nodeCount: 3
config:
node.master: true
node.data: true
node.ingest: true
podTemplate:
spec:
containers:
- name: elasticsearch
resources:
limits:
memory: "6Gi"
cpu: "100m"
volumeClaimTemplates:
- metadata:
name: elasticsearch-data
spec:
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
resources:
requests:
storage: 10Gi
storageClassName: standard
My logs are absolutely filled with [gc][10417] overhead, spent [503ms] collecting in the last [1.1s]
and it is making performance worse than on smaller clusters. Is there some way I'm supposed to increase memory limitations that isn't through the pod template?
Cheers and thanks for the assistance.
