Hello!

We are running a 8 node cluster (24 cores, 32GB each) with around 400  
indexes (2 replicas, 8 shards) we receive around 100 docs per second.  
We have the problem that documents we index now appear in search  
results 15 minutes later. ES seems to be lagging behind.  
Is there something we can adjust in ES to speed that up?

CU

We had an error in our application logic. So there is NO problem with  
ElasticSearch!
