Hello techies  
we are using elasticsearch 2.1.0(centos7) servers on production.  
we want to upgrade to v5.2.2 very soon.  
Following parameters are using while creating new indexes.  
index.translog.flush\_threshold\_ops: 100000  
index.number\_of\_shards: 5  
index.number\_of\_replicas: 1  
index.refresh\_interval: 60s  
Q: index.translog.flush\_threshold\_ops option is deprecated from v5.0.0  
can you please suggest alternative for above?

You can update those settings as below:

```
PUT /twitter/_settings
{
    "index" : {
        "translog.flush_threshold_ops" : 100000
    }
}

```

More over you can refer the docs here.

`The index.translog.[quote="kishore419, post:3, topic:81975"]  
"reason": "unknown setting [index.translog.flush\_threshold\_ops] did you mean

See here : [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/breaking\_50\_settings\_changes.html#\_translog\_settings](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/breaking_50_settings_changes.html#_translog_settings)

`The index.translog.flush_threshold_ops setting is not supported anymore. In order to control flushes based on the transaction log growth use index.translog.flush_threshold_size instead.`
