Is fielddata cache expire time[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/index-modules-fielddata.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/index-modules-fielddata.html) a per-index-level setting ? Looking at the documentation for index settings it doesn't seem to be available although the filter cache seems to have an index level expiry setting[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-update-settings.html#indices-update-settings](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-update-settings.html#indices-update-settings) . If not available is there a drawback of allowing this setting per index level ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
