I am using Bulk Processor for indexing using the elastic [doc](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api/current/java-docs-bulk-processor.html#java-docs-bulk-processor). and then using : bulkProcessor.add(new IndexRequest(indexName, type, id).source(json)) I am seeing high rejections with high bulk configs. Reducing these configs / increasing queue size is an option but will only work until some point. I want to have my back pressure and thus need to catch EsRejectedExecutionException and then implement my logic. But, i am not sure how to catch it. Could some one help me here. I have followed links like [1](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/handling-esrejections-on-bulk-operations-using-transport-client/77049) , [2](https://www.elastic.co/blog/why-am-i-seeing-bulk-rejections-in-my-elasticsearch-cluster) , but have not found the answer . ---
