curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/usertags/\_settings](http://localhost:9200/usertags/_settings)' -d '  
"index" : {  
"translog.sync\_interval" : "10s"  
}  
}'  
above setting return:  
Can't update non dynamic settings[[index.translog.sync\_interval]]

Is there an other way to do that?

You may need to set it in `elasticsearch.yml`, but why do you want it so high?

Because my data were imported in one time at ervery early morning,and at that time there hadn't any user used it,so i want to increate the tranlog.sync\_interval value for better import performace and shorter time.
