Hi , I am doing a lot of bulk insert into Elasticsearch and at the same time doing lots of read in another index. Because of the bulk insert my searches on other index are slow. It is not very urgent that these bulk indexes actually gets indexed and are immediately searchable. Is there anyway , I can ask Elasticsearch to receive the bulk inserts but do the actual indexing ( Which should be the CPU consuming part ) later. I figured out that Elasticsearch would wait for 1 second before making the documents searchable. Here , what is it waiting for ? Is it to index the document or reopening the indexWriter ? Will it help me if i can configure this 1 second to 1 hour ? If so , which parameter should i tweak. Kindly let me know if there are any other similar features out there which can be of any help.

Best method to achieve this would be to implement this in front of ES so the bulk indexing client runs only at the time it should run. For the gathering plugin which I am working on, I plan to separate the two phases of gathering documents and indexing documents. So, by giving a scheduling option, it will be possible to index (or even reindex) gathered documents at a later time, for example, documents are continuously collected from various sources, like JDBC, web, or file system, and then indexed at some later time (for example at night). Such collected documents will be stored in an archive format at each gatherer node, like the archive formats supported in the knapsack plugin.

Hello Michael - Thanks for the configuration. Hello Jörg - I was thinking more in lines of translog - > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI. See into your data and find answers that matter with enterprise solutions designed to help you build, observe, and protect. Try Elasticsearch free today. I believe the index operation is first written to translog ( Which i am not sure if is a part of lucene ) and then written to lucene later. Here if we can ask ES , to accumulate a huge amount of feeds to index and index it later , will that do the trick ?

Yes, it is possible to disable the translog sync (the component where the operations are passed from ES to Lucene) with index.gateway.local.flush: -1 and use the flush action for "manual commit" instead. I have never done that practically, though.

Oops, the correct parameter is index.translog.disable\_flush : true index.gateway.local.flush: -1 is controlling the gateway.

Hello Joerg , So if i disable it , ES wont write the feeds to lucene until i make a manual flush... I believe translog is written to a file and its not resident in the memory. This also means that translogs are maintained between restarts and we will never loose data. If all the above are right , then this might be a good candidate for my purpose.

Hello Joerg , I was still thinking how well will this handle cases where i have like 10 Million to insert in the translog and i ask ES to index them all in a single flush.

Hello Joerg , Your config doesnt seem to work. I gave the following parameter and while i was doing some inserts , there was no unusual behavior. The head showed the total number of documents i had inserted and it was searchable. index.translog.disable\_flush : true ES version - 0.90.9 Is there something i missed out ?
