I am seeing the following error: {"error":"ActionRequestValidationException[Validation Failed: 1: no settings to update;]","status":500} I think that this is because ``` @Override public ActionRequestValidationException validate() { ActionRequestValidationException validationException = null; if (transientSettings.getAsMap().isEmpty() && ``` persistentSettings.getAsMap().isEmpty()) { validationException = addValidationError("no settings to update", validationException); } return validationException; } Is this know bug? Is there anybody who didn't have this problem yet? Thank you Best, Jae -- ---

That might simply indicate that your update command doesn't contain any updatable settings. How does it look like? Does it contain "persistent" or "transient" objects?

I can see the empty persistent and transient objects with "curl localhost:7104/\_cluster/settings" but how can I add updatable settings?

I tried to update "persistent": { "indices.store.throttle.type": "merge", "indices.store.throttle.max\_bytes\_per\_sec": "50mb" } These setting should be able to be updated according to the guide page.

Did you run it like this? curl -XPUT localhost:9200/\_cluster/settings -d '{ "persistent": { "indices.store.throttle.type": "merge", "indices.store.throttle.max\_bytes\_per\_sec": "50mb" } }' Which version of elasticsearch are you using?

Every setting I tried is throwing the same error message. I think that I should see the full list of cluster wide settings with 'curl -XGET [http://localhost:7104/\_cluster/settings](http://localhost:7104/_cluster/settings)' but I am seeing empty persistent and transient settings like {"persistent":{},"transient":{}} What did I do wrong?

When you run it with -XGET you only get back the setting that you set there using -XPUT.
