Which setting are important for the node client? For my data nodes I disabled swapping, increased the memory and the file descriptors number and I understand why I have to do all of this (Lucene, I/O ops etc). But on the node client, which is dataless, do I need to consider applying such settings also? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
