Did you try to give more memory to the jvm ?

I am having problems with JVM crashes too (as pointed out in [https://groups.google.com/group/elasticsearch/browse\_thread/thread/76ee17b528533126](https://groups.google.com/group/elasticsearch/browse_thread/thread/76ee17b528533126)), doing bulk insert in 0.19.3. But I never had this problems before. Do you have an error log from your JVM? What java version are you using?

You are probably running out of memory on the JVM, make sure to allocate more memory, or reduce the bulk size.
