Hi Everyone, I'm trying to increase to size of the index filter size by doing something like that; curl -XPOST [http://localhost:9200/index/\_settings](http://localhost:9200/index/_settings) - d '{"index":{"cache.filter.size":"4gb"}}' But it doesn't seems to work, since the filter cache size grow up to 3gb and then it starts evicting cached filter. Do I need to do something more or is it a bug ? Thanks -- ---
