Hi !  
We are trying to understand if parameter indexing\_pressure.memory.limit can be adjusted and how. We cannot find any info on how to change it, we found only this help link [Indexing pressure | Elasticsearch Guide [8.2] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/index-modules-indexing-pressure.html)  
Thanks a lot!

Why do you want to adjust this?

We've had an indexing pressure situation with below rejection errors:

"Caused by: org.Elasticsearch.transport.RemoteTransportException: [elk-mon-es-eu-central-1b-data-1][192.168.19.104:9300][indices:data/write/bulk[s]]",  
"Caused by: org.Elasticsearch.common.util.concurrent.EsRejectedExecutionException: rejected execution of primary operation [coordinating\_and\_primary\_bytes=3221225182, replica\_bytes=0, all\_bytes=3221225182, primary\_operation\_bytes=2121, max\_coordinating\_and\_primary\_bytes=3221225472]",

So we have found there is a parameter that controls limit. We just wanted to understand if this is something adjustable, or we have to stick with default (10% of heap) and better not touch it.

It'd be useful if you shared the full error please.

We don't have full callstack unfortunately.
