Hi.

Can someone point me to a place where all possible ES config parameters for  
elasticsearch.yml are listed and defined?

This has very few:  
[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-configuration.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-configuration.html)

This has many, but not all (like indices.fielddata.cache.size and many  
others):  
[https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/config/elasticsearch.yml](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/config/elasticsearch.yml)

The best I have found is to use the github link, then follow any suggested  
URLs in it, which take you through other options. Just wondering if there  
was a place that had them all together!

Thanks!  
Chris

Hi,

This is the best, I could find:
