I have updated the bulk queue size of the cluster using the Cluster API settings. I am trying to understand if this is the way to go about it. curl -XPUT localhost:9200/\_cluster/settings -d '{"persistent" : {"threadpool.bulk.queue\_size" : 100}}' ---

Thanks. I have now added it to the elasticsearch.yml file. ---
