I am using elasticsearch version 1.0.1 I noticed index sizes reduce by 40% from their initial size, is there any overhead to indexing or searching with this compression? Is compression automatic now, or is this parameter still used? "index.store.compress.stored" : "true" Is this refresh value too high? I index about 150,000 msg/sec at peak rates. "index.refresh\_interval" : "180s" Here are a few other settings that I would like scrutinized. 🙂 "index.cache.field.type" : "resident" "index.replication" : "async" I index a lot of data, but also support a lot of queries, so I have these set: index.translog.flush\_threshold\_ops: 50000 indices.memory.index\_buffer\_size: 50% index.cache.field.type: node indices.cache.filter.size: 40% index.fielddata.cache: node indices.fielddata.cache.size: 40% -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
