Hi , I am dealing with 1.5 lakh feeds and 7GB of data in elasticsearch version 0.19.8, i am not able to start elasticsearch now, it is taking too much time for the index to be loaded and i am finding lot of .hprof files in the elasticsearch folder. One time it gave me an out of memory error for Permgen error, what should i do to start elasticsearch, any kind of pointers would be of great help. thanks, Jalal. ---

Hi Jalal! I have a similar problem and i solved it adding index.cache.field.type: soft in my elasticsearch.yml config file.
