So the bloating of dentry cache is because of this [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show\_bug.cgi?id=1044666](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1044666) My NSS version is 3.18 (Arch Linux, Kernel version. 3.14.21) Setting NSS\_SDB\_USE\_CACHE=YES has stopped the bloating. I have set this on one of the three nodes, dentry size hasn't changed a bit (in fact there was a small decrease) where as other two nodes have an increase of around 200 MB (in 18 hours). At this point I am not sure which component of th ES is making these curl requests (may be cloud-aws plugin?) ## -- Please update your bookmarks!
