Hi all, I have elasticsearch cluster, and I add indices.memory.index\_buffer\_sizeparameter in elasticsearch.yml file. I set this parameter be 70%. And then the cluster began to indexing. After all, I reset this parameter be 10%, and I restart the elasticsearch. My question is how can I check my settings are working? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
