Hey, I followed this [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/modules/threadpool.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/modules/threadpool.html)to try and set a fixed thread-pool for queries. I put this snippet in elasticsearch.yml (using elastic 0.20.5): threadpool: search: type: fixed size: 200 queue\_size: 100 reject\_policy: caller The numbers are not final, just for testing. In any case elastic didnt start up and nothing useful appeared in the logs.. am I missing something trivial?

Hey, sorry, that was a typo.. threadpool: search: type: fixed size: 200 queue\_size: 1000 reject\_policy: caller in my test, i want 100 threads, and a queue of 1000 requests. Anything else?

I tried this on my machine and it worked well threadpool: index: type: fixed size: 10 queue\_size: 1000 reject\_policy: caller I know it sounds stupid , but can you make sure there is no white space before threadpool.

Thanks Vineeth, the trivial thing that i missed was indeed whitespaces, not before the thread, but on the search line... works now On Monday, March 11, 2013 10:28:58 AM UTC+2, Vineeth Mohan wrote: > I tried this on my machine and it worked well > > threadpool: > index: > type: fixed > size: 10 > queue\_size: 1000 > reject\_policy: caller > > I know it sounds stupid , but can you make sure there is no white space > before threadpool. > > Thanks > Vineeth > > On Sun, Mar 10, 2013 at 10:32 PM, Shlomi \<[shlomi...@gmail.com](mailto:shlomi...@gmail.com)\ > > > wrote: > > > Hey, sorry, that was a typo.. > > > > threadpool: > > search: > > type: fixed > > size: 200 > > queue\_size: 1000 > > reject\_policy: caller > > > > in my test, i want 100 threads, and a queue of 1000 requests. > > > > Anything else? > > > > On Sunday, March 10, 2013 5:47:10 PM UTC+2, Vineeth Mohan wrote: > > > > > try size less than queue\_size > > > > > > On Sun, Mar 10, 2013 at 9:00 PM, Shlomi [shlomi...@gmail.com](mailto:shlomi...@gmail.com) wrote: > > > > > > > Hey, > > > > > > > > I followed this [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/modules/threadpool.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/modules/threadpool.html)to > > > > try and set a fixed thread-pool for queries.
