Hi,  
When configuring storage for Elasticsearch (7.16.2):  
Do we have any recommended disk Block Size or way to do the math around it?  
I can't find anything related in documentation.  
What should I consider?

Thanks,  
Best regards,

Welcome to our community! 😃

This is not a level of recommendations that we make as far as I know.

Hi,  
Thanks for the answer.  
I just keep it big for high volume indexing.  
Best regards,
