I found some memory issue. How can I do ? On one node have consume the memory around 92% of all (7417584kB). Is it normal? I set the elasticsearch.conf like this: set.default.ES\_MIN\_MEM=2048 set.default.ES\_MAX\_MEM=4096 Is that the right place to limit memory usage? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
