Hi Team,

I'm trying to run elser and ner pipelines through the reindexing and I'm having the following error :  
**pipeline with id [elser\_pipeline\_peopleagg] could not be loaded, caused by [org.elasticsearch.ElasticsearchParseException: Error updating pipeline with id [elser\_pipeline\_peopleagg]; org.elasticsearch.ElasticsearchStatusException: Max number of inference processors reached, total inference processors [50]. Adjust the setting [xpack.ml.max\_inference\_processors]: [50] if a greater number is desired.]**

Just for reference, reindexing script :  
{  
"source": {  
"remote": {  
"host": "https",  
"username": "d",  
"password": "d"  
},  
"index": "peopleagg\_09282023",  
"size": 100,  
"query": {  
"bool": {  
"must": {  
"bool": {  
"should": [  
{  
"exists": {  
"field": "aboutme"  
}  
},  
{  
"exists": {  
"field": "resumecontent"  
}  
}  
]  
}  
},  
"must\_not": {  
"bool": {  
"should": [  
{  
"term": {  
"aboutme.keyword": ""  
}  
},  
{  
"term": {  
"resumecontent.keyword": ""  
}  
}  
]  
}  
}  
}  
},  
"\_source": [  
"aboutme",  
"accountname",  
"badgedescription",  
"badgename",  
"email",  
"pdifunctionsglobaltext",  
"pdicitydesc",

"role",

]  
},  
"dest": {  
"index": "peopleaggml\_110202023",  
"pipeline": "elser\_pipeline\_peopleagg"  
}  
}  
I have been stuck on this. Can someone please help me on resolving this?

Thanks,  
Manasa.

Hello @Manasa4,

The total number of `inference` type processors allowed across all ingest pipelines was reached. This value defaults to `50` to prevent excessive resource usage. If you need more, and to resolve this issue, you can increase the limit of inference processors.
