Hello there

I noticed the following warning message in my nodes logs when starting:

[2015-04-30 12:40:13,265][INFO][node] [**_server_**]  
started  
[2015-04-30 12:40:32,154][WARN][node.settings] [**_server_**]

Here are the current cluster settings:

curl [http://localhost:9200/\_cluster/settings?pretty](http://localhost:9200/_cluster/settings?pretty)  
{  
"persistent" : {  
"indices" : {  
"store" : {  
"throttle" : {  
"max\_bytes\_per\_sec" : "40mb"  
}  
}  
},  
"threadpool" : {  
"bulk" : "250"  
},  
"cluster" : {  
"routing" : {  
"allocation" : {  
"enable" : "all",  
"balance" : {  
"shard" : "0.9f"  
},  
"disable\_allocation" : "false"  
}  
}  
}  
},  
"transient" : {  
"cluster" : {  
"routing" : {  
"allocation" : {  
"enable" : "all"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

Is there anything wrong with my settings? We tried to change the  
`threadpool.bulk` setting months ago, but it doesn't seem to have been  
taken into account (bulk queue still caped at default value). We currently  
use version 1.2.3, and are in the process of upgrading to 1.5.x performing  
rolling upgrades.

Cheers,

m.

It was a few months ago so I don't exactly recall the command line we used,  
but it must have been something like:

curl -X PUT -d '{  
"persistent" : {  
"threadpool.bulk": { "type": "fixed", "queue\_size": 250 }  
}  
}' localhost:9200/\_cluster/settings

for error, should really dig into the code and could probably give some  
hint on why is that happening.

upgrading? perhaps you want to read this  
[http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/breaking-changes-1.4.html](http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/breaking-changes-1.4.html)  
as well. if you have use any of it and/or change the setting to those,  
should really pay attention.
