I wondering about my pipeline setup:

```auto
- pipeline.id: bal
  path.config: "/usr/share/logstash/pipeline/1*.conf"
  pipeline.workers: 24
  pipeline.batch.size: 2000
- pipeline.id: soul
  path.config: "/usr/share/logstash/pipeline/2*.conf"
  pipeline.workers: 24
  pipeline.batch.size: 2000
- pipeline.id: outputs
  path.config: "/usr/share/logstash/pipeline/9*.conf"
  pipeline.workers: 8
  pipeline.batch.size: 2000

```

For instance, i have set pipeline workers to 24 for input and parsing, for two independent redis inputs, with a output set to 8 workers. My question starts here. am I creating a bottleneck by having 24 works for input and filtering while output has only 8?
